The description for Trip says,
I had a situation recently in which a player tried to trip a large creature with a huge weight advantage. We're talking a 5,000 lb giant vs. a 250 lb Medium-sized human. Would that qualify as "more stable"?
I'm thinking that each doubling of the defender's weight over and above the attacking creature's heavy load rating should add +2 to the defender's opposed roll. For example, if a 250 lb fighter has a heavy load of 500 lb (for arguments sake), then a 1,000 lb defender should get a +2 bonus. If the defender is 2,000 lb the bonus goes up again. And at 4,000 lbs, the defender would have a +6 bonus.
What do you think?
What do you, as a GM, consider the "more stable" phrase to mean?The defender gets a +4 bonus on his check if he has more than two legs or is otherwise more stable than a normal humanoid.
