However, I think that would require adjusting the mechanics for the higher level facilities so they aren't overpowered right off the bat.I'm also handwaving the sizes. I'm just going with Cramped = small, Roomy = comfortable size, and Vast = really big. As written, the rules for room sizes are wonky. The rules talk about size in terms of 5-foot squares. However, they also indicate that you can stack them on top of each other, so they probably should have referred to 5-foot cubes. Either way, the maximum dimensions make for some very odd shapes.Take Cramped with its maximum allowance of 4 5-foot squares. If we assume they actually meant cubes, then you can either have a 10 ft x 10 ft square room with a 5-foot high ceiling, or you can have a 10 ft x 5 ft rectangular room with a 10-foot high ceiling. The players in my game have a floating tower that is round. I arbitrarily gave it a 50-foot diameter, and they each have their own floor of the tower, with the "ground" floor being a common area. There's a 10-foot diameter circular stairwell in the middle of each floor. I gave them free reign to design the layout of their floors, with Cramped being a relatively small space, Roomy being a bigger space, and Vast being a really big space. It's up to them to determine how their rooms all fit together in the space available.</blockquote>
