Honey, I Shrunk the Monster Manual!

[Wiseblood]

True. I prefer creatures of size "Huge" or less, because then they get unwieldy and clumsy on the battlefield.

What I'd really like: Only treat stuff as big as Huge as creatures - bigger things get a special half-creature/half-terrain treatment (climbing on them, falling down, moving the group wholesale, because they're standing on them)...

Cheers, LT.

I agree with Baby Samurai. I think that is an awesome idea.

BTW, I hate random booster pack marketing. :\

Yes, a lot of us disprove of Plastic Crack:the Marketing.

"Collect them all!"

The genius will be that the minis are the parts!

"Hey, I got a crawling claw!"

"Woah, I'll trade you for one of my vargouilles -- I just need one more crawling claw and I can build a glabrezu!"

Parts is parts, -- N

In an otherwise mindnumbing thread, this post is a gem.

Does anyone think that a lot of formerly-Huge 3.5-era monsters will be shrunk to Large size so that they're easier to make as minis?

Just curious: what, if any, evidence you have that this might even be considered?

Please add my name to the "Lord Tirian's Kick-Ass Idea Appreciation Society".

Thank you.

edit: Seriously, Shadow of the Colossus-style creatures as environments? Oh I'm soooo working on this now!

Orcus might be a counter-example though -- Large to Gargantuan with 4e.

I think they will try to avoid putting creatures in categories larger than Huge and avoid Huge when they can. But they will still exist certainly.

The Summer 08 set is a huge set so Huge figures aren't going away.
