[QUOTE="Upper_Krust, post: 166163, member: 326"] [b]Alter Size: Ability Scores[/b] Hi Thraxus! :) Presumably this must therefore be a Supernatural Ability for show - rather than for practical purposes - otherwise it would affect ability scores. If you wanted to get technical the strength increase should be proportional to the square root of the mass increase. (Remember that in D&D x2 Str = +5) So... x8 Mass (Large) = x2.8 str = +7 in D&D x64 Mass (Huge) = x8 str = +15 in D&D x512 Mass (Gargantuan) x22.6 = +22 in D&D x4096 Mass (Colossal) x64 = +30 in D&D So the +8 is probably an easier average. For the sake of this example lets say: Colossal (64 ft.-128 ft.) Enormous (128 ft.-256 ft.) Gigantic (256 ft.-512 ft.) Titanic (512 ft.-1,024 ft.) Humongous (1,024 ft.-2,048 ft.) ;) Constitution perhaps shouldn't be affected. Hit Dice would probably be doubled per size category though. Dexterity should perhaps be reduced by 5 per size category. (You could argue to a minimum 10...maybe) Which is why technically Hit Dice should be doubled, not constitution. Although this is the greatest mistake of D&D 3rd Ed. that it still equates HD with skill/BAB - which is lunacy. eg. Giants should have rubbish BAB; rarely hitting; but when they do hit...*splat* Give all giants a BAB of +1, but make their Damage Dice equal to the square root of their mass increase. eg. Hill Giant (large) Greatclub 3d10 base eg. Titan (huge) Warhammer 16d6 base Make Con = HD Make Dex Bonus = Skill (to hit) In fact ignore all the above I am flying off at a tangent! :D You would probably develop your own gravity with noticeable effects In fact you could represent the god yourself by standing on the gaming table! Speed should probably increase as per the square root of the size increase. eg. x2 size (not mass) = x1.4 (lets say x1.5) speed x4 size = x2 speed x8 size = x2.8 (lets say x3) speed x16 size (colossal) = x4 speed [url]http://www.stardestroyer.net/Empire/index.html[/url] At the Site Index, scroll down to 'Science' and click 'Size Matters'. Near the bottom of that page is a discussion on Godzilla; Giant Insects and 50ft Women (as per 'B-Movies'). Your best attack would be falling over...as with Talos in Jason & the Argonauts. Admittedly they should have determined the power and size increases (to infinity) when they initially designed the system. :D [/QUOTE]
