[QUOTE="Envisioner, post: 7962607, member: 6749263"] The size categories in standard D&D are explictly presented as being a continuum - all creatures effectively have a Size stat, and Tiny creatures have Size 1, Small have Size 2, Medium have Size 3. If D&Dm came out and said that all creatures with a Size stat of 2 are now considered Smue instead of Small, and all creatures with Tiny size are now Tue instead of Tiny, then nothing would change because of these different namings. If, on the other hand, the point of the change was to do away with the implied Size numbers, and Smue and Tue were just arbitrary categories like Elf and Orc, and you now had human-made weapons which explicitly couldn't be used by Orcs and you wanted to argue about whether they were also intended to not be used by Elves...is that where you're going with this? I'm confused. It seems like you want to come up with an underlying rule which doesn't depend on having a reality that it illustrates, but if that is indeed your goal, the only question I can ask is "why on Earth would you ever want that?".
