The averague human is about 1.75 meters tall, so humans are at the tall end of Medium size instead of nicely in the middle but I haven't been able to come up with anything better as of yet. Carrying capacity and equipment weight are off scientifically speaking but otherwise, a colossal giant woulnd't be able to lift his short sword. I calculated all spaces and reaches to exactitude (and fractions of meters) just to be sure that people recognize that a Small combatant does get to strike before a Tiny foe. And yes, a Small creature's reach is only 1.5 meter while Medium is 2 meters.Large and larger size categories grant bonuses to Fort saves and Combat rolls, while granting penalties to Skill checks and Reflex saves. Vice versa for Small and smaller creatures; all bonuses/penalties are +/-2 per size category.Skills: Combat, Hide, Listen, Move Silently and Spot.Combat: Special combat maneuvers, Damage and Damage Reduction*.*Damage Reduction: A creature with negative damage reduction takes extra damage from physical attacks. Monsters: Instead of creating specific monsters like d&d does (filling up a dozen books in the process), I'm creating monster progressions. Right now all I have is the giant progression; stats for your basic bash-things-over-the-head giant from CR 1 to 20 (size Large to Colossal). Next I'll do outsiders I think and then the rest. This is very slow-going though because of the haphazard nature of my guideline book (MM). Giants, for example, only range from CR 3-13 in MM so I have to estimate where a giant's stats should be at above and below these numbers. I've only been using the MM as my guideline because every monster book seems to have different CR standards.</blockquote>
