[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 3840447, member: 22779"] That's WAY too much of a pain in the butt. The game is based on a particular scale and messing with that scale just for one creature type is a bad idea IMO. As far as boots and stuff to make the room more tactically interesting, that's not really my point. 4 Huge creatures need rooms about 60x60 (12x12) squares to be able to have enough room for 4-6 PC's and the creatures. At a minimum, you cannot go below 30x30. That means that your battle map and your tabletop better be pretty darn big to handle combats. It's the physical issues that become a problem. It's fine for dragons and a few other creatures because most huge and bigger creatures aren't fighting in groups. But, a group of fire giants isn't all that out of left field. It's a pretty reasonable encounter. A dungeon with, say, 16 fire giants, would need to be extremely big - all corridors are 15 feet wide, all rooms are massive. The cartography would have an awful lot of blank space for something like that. All IMO of course. [/QUOTE]
