[QUOTE="Elethiomel, post: 4877376, member: 49897"] I think it's an issue of balance. I also think balance is the reason for the low base land speed of larger creature. I also think "step" is a misnomer (for any Medium or Small creature I can hardly see 5 feet being one step, let alone one careful step) . We tried to introduce step = space in one of the games I played in, and it completely broke the game in the larger creatures' favor. Flanking becomes nigh-impossible, and it completely ruins anyone of 10' reach or below whose main shtick is to stop enemies moving away from them. You [b]never[/b] get full attacks and the Large and larger creatures [b]always[/b] get full attacks. With the occasional White Raven user it doesn't matter so much, because it's only one fight out of many (and ToB classes aren't dependent on full attacks anyway, provided they're largely single class), but most adventuring parties meet a hell of a lot of Large or larger creatures.
