Size Categories

A tiny creature is one that does not fully occupy a 5 foot square. They can only attack creatures who share a square with them. Multiple tiny creatures can share the same square without needing to make a check. Pixies and house cats are iconic tiny creatures.

A small creature fully occupies a 5 foot square but is significantly smaller than a typical human. Mid-sized dogs or dwarves are iconic small creatures.

A medium creature is the size of a typical human.

This represents something significantly larger than a typical human, while not being excessively massive. Orcs and trolls are iconic large creatures.

The size category of “giant” creatures is a variable definition meant to encompass creatures larger than what a typical “large” creature entails. You can increase a creature’s size by 1 step above large by adding 5 feet to its reach and increasing its space by 1×1. Giant creatures typically start around the size of a walrus or an elephant. Note: Giant is typically stated as “Giant (# x # space, X feet. reach)”. If a creature is just “Giant” it is assumed to be “Giant (3×3 space, 15 feet. reach)”.

Some creatures have different reaches than those listed. This is often due to some oddity of their biology- the above size categories assume a humanoid frame. A horse, for example, only has a reach of 5 feet. This is because they are a quadruped rather than a 12 foot tall orc.

You can use equipment so long as it is within a size category of you. A small creature can use things designed for a medium, small, or tiny creature and a large creature can use stuff for a medium, large, or giant creature. It might require a little modification but it’s generally accepted that a human and a halfkin can make use of the same equipment. When in doubt- players can freely swap equipment unless it would be ridiculous.
