MDT = 2 x (10 + Ref - Special Size Mod) Size Modifier The special size modifier is as follows: Colossal +8, Gargantuan +4, Huge +2, Large +1, Medium +0, Small -1, Tiny -2, Diminutive -4, Fine -8.This version models the idea that smaller creatures often have better reflexes that help them avoid taking massive damage.  Here's how I did it using the Fortitude Save v. Massive Damage:Massive Damage Threshold: A character or creature's Massive Damage Threshold is equal to twice the sum of 10 plus their Fortitude Save bonus or penalty (including all modifiers) plus their Size Modifier. MDT = 2 x (10 + Fort + Size Mod) Size Modifier The special size modifier is as follows: Colossal +8, Gargantuan +4, Huge +2, Large +1, Medium +0, Small -1, Tiny -2, Diminutive -4, Fine -8.This version models the idea that larger creatures can suffer greater damage without suffering ill effects.</blockquote>
