[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 5020977, member: 4937"] Probably not, although big creatures will become even more powerful and consequently spells that increase a creatures size will need to to up a level. It's only overly advantageous for smaller creatures if smaller creatures have average or better attributes - which sadly, they usually do. Side rant here, but is anyone other than me annoyed about the fact that nothing seems to have a lower con than an elf? Small creatures like rats and cockroaches may be extremely hardy, but that's only relative hardiness. They have extremely high fortitudes for creatures there size, but they are still pretty fragile. I get so freakin' annoyed when I see a 'small dog' with a Con of 15. What you really ought to have is something like Con 11 and Endurance as a racial feat. Con 11 is a very high constitution for a small creature. At least dogs are hardy, enduring animals. What's even worse is 'house cat' at Con 10. Even big cats have pretty fragile health, take care to avoid carrion, are prone to disease and toxins, etc. and medium-sized cat is a good candidate for a racial con penalty (offsetting the extremely high speed and strength for its size). A tiny cat ought to have a Con around 4 or 5. A lion should be like Con 12 at most. Anyway, that's usually the problem with small races being overly advantaged compared to big ones. There are some other issues at play, but usually excessively high attributes are at the heart of them. [/QUOTE]
