[QUOTE="phindar, post: 3321047, member: 37198"] pressedcat makes an excellent point that I should have phrased explictly in the original post. The Single Step would apply to pc's as well, so spells like Enlarge Person would be more powerful, and LA's on larger creatures should probably be adjusted. Likewise, my group uses AE, and giants are a pc race that can become Large with racial levels. Off the top of my head, I'd say Enlarge Person would go to 2nd level, and creatures would take a +1 LA per Size Category. (AE giants I can work out on my own. It'll probably involve tweaking the racial levels, but I can burn that bridge when I cross it.) This is more of a exercise since I'm not currently running a campaign, but its something I'd like to work out for the next one I do run. Edit: I realize I didn't really address pressedcat's point. I don't mind pc's searching out loopholes so much, since that's what they do. (They really are the best for finding weak points in a system.) If it turns out in play that it is just horribly, horribly broken, I can always change it back. It gives bigger creatures control of a lot more real estate, but then, that's the idea. I'd rather try to base the rule on a common sense theory (big creatures take bigger steps) and make the mechanics work, than build something that works mechanically but doesn't make much sense otherwise.
