In my never-ending quests to create a consistent world, I constructed the following and would very much appreciate any comments on it. Notice my intention is not to provide a true ecologically-sound world, that's way out of my league - and not very interesting, to me. My goal here is to create a system that will allow me to rationalize how come there are X monsters of type Y in that place - I mean, they have to eat, right?
I have done so by assuming each creature requires to eat food with a total weight of a creature two size categories smaller than him per day (I dervied this from the Size comparison picture in the PHB ).
I derived the following population densities, based on the assumption of 1 sq. mile producing enough food to support 180 Medium-sized herbivores.
The densities are given per sq. mile.
Density:_________Herbivores________Carnivores
Size
Fine____________37773 1/4_________who cares?
Dimunitive________7554 2/3_________who cares
Tiny_____________1259 1/9_________126
Small____________251 5/6__________25 1/5
Medium__________18 8/9___________4 1/5
Large____________1 1/5____________5/6
Huge____________5/953____________1/16
Gargantuan_______0_______________3/746
Collosal__________0_______________1.74876E-05
Does this seem reasonable? Useful? Pathetic? Useless? A mad undertaking only a fool would undertake, that risks undermining all that is good and proper?
