ASOIAF/GOT Tyrion Lannister has the body of a Fantasy Dwarf?

He has the stout strength and physique of a fantasy dwarf in addition to the mind he already had in the original series

But here he has the ability to smith great tools, weapons, armor and buildings

What happens in the long run if Tywin notices he’s not the usual sort of Dwarf, physically speaking?

Tywin will still hate him regardless, he didn't just hate Tyrion because he was a dwarf, it had more to do with his mother's death during his birth. In any case Tyrion would be obviously more martial than canon despite his size, but probably would still grow smart to compensate for his lack of height, as he would still be ostracized for it.

Assuming things go the same way up until cannon it changes little.

I’m guessing the moment that Tysha thing occurs he either rips apart a bunch of the guards with his own bare hands or does it later

And the moment he starts drinking and whoring, he actually gets to and wins some bar fights

So there might be extra respect there, but they’ll come up with a different name or term than “Imp” for him

Would Tywin allow him to fight The Mountain?

You knew, Fantasy dwarf could kill Mountain.

As supposedly "realistic" ASOIAF is, I think even its fighters are kind of "superhuman" or could maybe do somewhat well in a fantasy setting like the Thurian Age or Hyborean Age of Robert E. Howard's making

That's a tough one - from one side, Tywin Lannister's son, even if a dwarf, actually doing physical labour? Seriously, being a dwarf is bad enough, but a dwarf that works with his hands? The only "tools" acceptable to wield by a Lord Paramount or his sons are implements of war, not work. Work is for commoners. (As is trade / commerce by the way.)

On the other hand, if Tyrion could make clearly supernatural items - like Valyrian steel, now that would be worthwhile. Or if Casterly Rock just happened to have a vein or two of mithryl...

Kind of a shame, I think Tyrion and/or Tywin would be extremely good when it comes to investing(then again Lords sorta already do that) and trade agreements

I’m guessing it takes quite awhile to justify increasing the price of said clearly supernatural items that may rival Valyrian steel

Especially if Fantasy!Tyrion goes off and makes lots of them to pass the time and throwing em off to the side

The larger the known quantity of a very wanted product, the less likely its value, given that outside of war, Houses like Valyrian Steel for the sheer prestige it’d give

Possible question is if he can teach regular people his craft
