09-29-05, 06:16 PM I'm working on developing an outsider type monster for my campaign that has a base size of medium at 6HD. I want to be able to advance it by adding Hit Dice, increasing in size as it goes along. The RAW in monster manual only gives rules for advancing up one size. I want to be able to increase this creature to Colossal. Need to know what would be the hit die steps for this. Advice please :)

Apply the STR DEX & CON modifiers again for each size increase.

does this suffice?

09-29-05, 06:22 PM Just go with what seems appropriate. You could look at the HD gap between medium and large sizes, then just use the same gap between large and huge, huge and gargantuan etc. Or you could choose an arbritrary number of hit dice that seems about right. Then just repeat the steps in the MM for each size increase and you are away :)
