[QUOTE="Upper_Krust, post: 4970777, member: 326"] Hiya mate! :) Currently there are 6 sizes above Gargantuan, or rather, six size modifiers. Mega from 31, Giga from 39 and Tera from 47 have all been discussed Continuing that scale Peta = Sun sized, from 55 Exa = Nebula/Solar System sized, from 63 Zetta = Galaxy sized, from 71 Theoretical extension would see Yotta = Universe, from 79 Xona = Super-Universe, from 87 Weta = "Real", from 95 However, I don't want anything higher than 71 because you cannot conceivably support more than three additional tiers to 4E (31-60). Supporting even one more tier will be a challenge. Which means beings like Time Lords will only be about the Size of a Sun/Star up to a Solar System. When you leave the 'Universe' the laws of physics no longer apply, so Size is somewhat relative really...probably relative to power I'm thinking. Additionally, because physics laws are irrelevant, universes may be bigger on the inside than on the outside (which is a nice in-joke). Furthermore, size 'rules' are not as math intensive as in 3E, so you don't really need to work out negative AC penalties and strength bonuses anymore. Size basically isn't that important, which is why I'm having simple 'general' guidelines for really big monsters and enemies (Castle-sized, Mountain-sized, Planet-sized etc.) rather than going into the specifics of how many feet exactly.
