[QUOTE="BeauNiddle, post: 2773659, member: 836"] As Aaron L says you don't apply the modifiers for size during combat you apply them during character creation. A small creature has +1 to hit vs EVERYTHING and +1 AC vs EVERYTHING. A large creature has -1 to hit and -1 AC vs everything. You jot it down during creation and never need to worry about it again (unless using magic to change size). If you do change size (say small to fine) then you work out the changes by going through medium i.e. you lose your +1 to hit and +1 AC for small but instead gain +8 to hit and +8 AC for fine. Work out all your modifiers once when you first change and for all combats after that the modifiers stay the same. (the chart you compiled is what the bonuses work out to but it is only useful as an academic exercise since that chart will NEVER be referenced in combat) DAMN YOU KENOBI, damn you and your fast fingers :) [/QUOTE]
