[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 4992895, member: 57383"] [b]Size Steps[/b] Well I've thought about it, and it doesn't look like it's worth changing. The only difference between 200% Short Reach and 150% Long Reach for Huge to Colossal creatures is the Colossal one gets 5 feet more. Don't think I could be bothered changing it, especially as I prefer all the reaches of the Colossal Brach in nice neat 10-foot steps. I'm going to add a note giving "Lesser Brachs" having bite & tail reaches equal to their Space. Anyway, while we're on the subject of Sizes, you may have noticed that I have a tendency to add intermediary sized creatures (e.g. a Large animal with Str 16, a 'Big' Large animal with Str 20, and a Huge animal with Str 24), mainly because I don't think the 3E size advancements are granular enough. I think I'd better formalize the scheme, my current plan is: [FONT=Courier New] [SIZE=2][B]Size...........Size (Space).Str+Con[/B] [B]Fine[/B]...........Fine..([/SIZE][/FONT][SIZE=2][FONT="]½[/FONT][/SIZE][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2] ft).-12..-2 [RAW Rules say Str -10] [B]Diminutive[/B].....Dimin.(1 ft).-10..-2 [B]Tiny[/B]...........Tiny.([/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2]2[/SIZE][/FONT][SIZE=2][FONT="]½[/FONT][/SIZE][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2] ft)..-8..-2 [I]Very Small[/I].....Tiny.(2[/SIZE][/FONT][SIZE=2][FONT="]½[/FONT][/SIZE][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2] ft)..-6..-2 [B]Small[/B]..........Small.(5 ft)..-4..-2 [I]Little[/I].........Small.(5 ft)..-2..+0 [B]Medium[/B].........Medium[/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2](5 ft)..+0..+0[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2] [I]Big[/I]............Medium[/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2](5 ft)..+4..+2[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2] [B]Large[/B]..........Large[/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2](10 ft)..+8..+4[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2] [I]Very Large[/I].....Large(10 ft).+12..+6 [B]Huge[/B]...........Huge.(15 ft).+16..+8 [I]Enormous[/I].......Huge.(15 ft).+20.+10 [B]Gargantuan[/B].....Garg.(20 ft).+24.+12 [I]Titanic[/I]........Garg.(20 ft).+28.+14 [A 25 ft Space is tempting] [B]Colossal[/B].......Col..(30 ft).+32.+16 [I]Super Colossal[/I].Col.(40 ft?).+36.+18 [B]EPIC![/B]..........Col+.(50 ft).+40.+20[/SIZE][/FONT] The sizes above Gargantuan are just for illustration, I doubt any of the remaining prehistoric beasts I stat up for this thread will have a size of Colossal, unless I decide to stat up the more exaggeratedly large estimates of some marine reptiles.
