If so, I'd like to point out it isn't quite that simple. The size categories are based on how much room creatures should take up while in combat, moving around in a limited space, etc.

08-21-07, 07:18 PM ooooo i was thinking that is was based on height and weight.
so i guess what i need to know now is what defines the area filled (?) to qualify for medium or large. and just some easy to under stand examples. like i know an elephant is huge so i can kind of make the size comparison with that but i am having trouble making large constructs (golems) and there size in relation the a human.
