Undersized, Variant (5e Variant Rule)

This is polar opposite of Oversized (5e Variant Rule) - making weapons smaller for small or tiny races.

Alterations to weapon are such:

• Light. If the original weapon is not Heavy and not Two-Handed, it becomes Light. Medium and bigger creature always treats it as Light.
• Finesse. If the original weapon is not Heavy and not Two-Handed, it becomes Finesse. Medium and bigger creature always treats it as Finesse.
• Versatile. The weapon is considered to be a one-handed weapon with Versatile's maximum damage.
• Heavy. That quality is removed.
• Thrown. Works as normal.
• Two-handed. That quality is removed.
• Weight and cost. Divide the weight and cost of the weapon, and of any ammunition it uses, by 4.
• Damage. An undersized weapon deals one-step smaller damage than its normal counterpart.
