Oh, I'm not saying people SHOULDN'T be allowed to be RoeNinja. Â I'm personally just finding it hard to get over visually. Â If there were a few more options of body style then it'd be simpler for me to navigate. Â And I haven't played the combination, but have seen it in action on the field.
Again. Â This is all a personal failing of perception and my own admitted inability to write a Roegadynja compellingly. Â I even said so in my first post:

Highlights added for emphasis. Â If you can pull this off, then that's awesome. Â Matter of fact I'd ask for tips. Â :3
Oh, I wasn't directing my post at you, sorry! Just addressing the 'small ninja knives' and how I deal with large races and less form fitting classes.
I do understand the physical appearance issues with some classes. I cannot roll a midlander or elezen because their neck doesn't match their body in my opinion (this is a personal opinion that I wish I could get over). This can be addressed by gear choice to trick the eyes or conceal the aspects that bother the individual.
RP wise, the matter of size should only actually come into affect in instances of things with size comparisons. Naturally, my Roegadyn ninja isn't going to be able to fit his fingers into as small spaces as lalafell. However, he is comfortable in his own skin so he would have ways to deal with that rather than it being an awkward matter. A character should not be awkward in his own skin unless he if by magic he suddenly is a different size. (Fantasiaed Lalafell into a Reogadyn would be a barrelful of awkwardness and clumsiness)

Basically, the way I deal with classes that seem unusual for the character, is I don't. Unless they are just learning a new skill (a pugilist novice learning the forms for the first time) or using things not designed for him (a Roegadyn having to use a sword designed for a Miqote) a character should be used to their body and how to make things work for them. If the 'animations' for an attack seem odd to me for the race, I merely change my perspective of how my character does it in RP rather than denying the ability for the character if ICly he can do it.
