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.

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.

Size1 MUS2 HP Typical Weight Typical Height Example
−6 −32 1 0–0.5 0–0.25 Toad, mouse

11 1024 750 500,000–1,000,000 90–150 Rampaging radioactive reptilian monsters
  1. The Size gets subtracted from Attack Rolls, Dodge/Parry Rolls, and Stealth. 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.
  2. The Muscle bonus is added to Might and opposed Grip. In feats of strength, larger creatures are many times stronger than smaller ones.
