A creature's '''size''' represents its mass and how much space it occupies. The following table lists the size modifiers, as well as some typical weights (in pounds), and typical heights (in feet). Naturally, there are examples which may fall outside these ranges. Size is more about a creature's mass than its dimensions.

The Size gets subtracted from [[Attack Roll]]s and [[Evasion Roll]]s. Therefore, a positive number is a penalty and a negative number is a bonus. When creatures of different sizes engage in combat, the smaller one is harder to hit and inversely, the larger one is a bigger target. Your Size is also used to calculate your ''Weighted Damage'' score, since an attack from a larger creature deals more damage than one from a smaller creature. See ''Chapter 10: Combat'' for more information about attacks and damage.

You must also apply your Size score to a few skill checks, such as certain uses of [[Stealth]], [[Perception]], and [[Search]]. In feats of strength, larger creatures are many times stronger than smaller ones, so certain uses of [[Might]], [[Grip]], and [[Gymnastics]] allow larger creatures to add a bonus for each point in Size difference. See ''Chapter 6: Skills'' for more information about the involvement of Size in various skill checks.

A creature's Size represents its mass and how much space it occupies. The table below lists the Size levels, as well as some typical weights (in pounds), and typical heights (in feet). Size is more about a creature's mass than its dimensions, therefore there are examples which may fall outside these ranges.

The Size gets subtracted from Attack Rolls and Evasion Rolls. Therefore, a positive number is a penalty and a negative number is a bonus. When creatures of different sizes engage in combat, the smaller one is harder to hit and inversely, the larger one is a bigger target. Your Size is also used to calculate your Weighted Damage score, since an attack from a larger creature deals more damage than one from a smaller creature. See Chapter 10: Combat for more information about attacks and damage.

You must also apply your Size score to a few skill checks, such as certain uses of Stealth, Perception, and Search. In feats of strength, larger creatures are many times stronger than smaller ones, so certain uses of Might, Grip, and Gymnastics allow larger creatures to add a bonus for each point in Size difference. See Chapter 6: Skills for more information about the involvement of Size in various skill checks.
