Armor fitting to entirely different sizes

The party I'm running for keeps finding a bunch of armor. Obviously they tend to be sized for humans, but our main melee fighter is about half that size.

Every time we find a piece of magic armor or a fancy helmet, he asks: "Well can't I find a blacksmith to fit it for me?"

I'm pretty sure this very notion is a fucking ridiculous but I'm shit at words and can't put it into a good argument. So I need your help in either helping me explain why it's so retarded, or explaining to me how it could actually work.

If the helmet is magic enough, it could change size to fit his owner. On the other hand, it might have too much self-respect to want to sit on the head of a manlet

Instead of trying to justify not allowing him to resize the equipment, how about trying to find a way for him to do it. A blacksmith may not be able to resize it, but maybe a magician could shrink it down for him or something.

Wait...how is someone finding a way to solve a problem falling forward?

Changing the shape of the armor releases the enchantment.

Or just make him pay a bug amount.

Yeah, but how do you change the shape of the armor to begin with?

>>54714392
>in d&d its cannon that most magic items resize one category to fit.

How did your last session go, anon? Did your players ask you when you're next available or are you still waiting to hear back from them?

Only in later editions.

Give your party loot they can fucking use.

>Most creatures in the world are humans or others of their size, but all the armor we find is for some reason too small for them to wear!

Player-centric coddling little shits...

This kind of thing is honestly why I'm happy to play more cyberpunk or futuristic types of games, where the gear used by enemies is "tagged" or otherwise prevents players from stopping after every fight to see if there's shit they can strip from the bodies. You never see that kind of behavior in books or movies (apart from maybe retrieving some arrows) because A.) it's often seen as a dishonorable thing (especially in L5R, where it's literally taboo to touch a dead body), or B.) the gear the character uses is already tailored for their bodies and it's easier to make new shit than try and retrofit something to a completely different body type.

Love this picture, it actually makes the helmet visors recognisable unlike the game models.

Or there are other wee ones roaming the lands in armor.
