I've recently become interested in the mouse guard comic and RPG. I'm actually looking to start a mouse guard game when I get enough people interested.
One thing is bothering me though. The biggest part of the uniqueness of this setting is how the mice have to overcome obstacles due to their size. Enemies for example are more than not larger than them. So why are they using small swords, and the likes. In the comic one mouse defeats a snake by jumping in its mouth in order to be able to stab it.
So instead I imagine mice carrying spears and pikes in order to have a bit more reach. The better trained mice may carry pole arms.
What other adaptations would mouse society, customs, martial arts go through in order to survive?
