Character Size
Characters in the world of Chromatia and its various realms are typically either Small or Medium in size, as defined by your original choice of race. However, there are some circumstances that may permit a character to gain a size more commonly associated with the various NPC monsters and creatures you may encounter during your adventures.
If a particular feature or ability permanently increases (or decreases) your size, you gain benefits as detailed below. Note that yes, as your size increases you gain an automatic reduction to your armor class. Being largely generally means it's easier for things to hit you.
- Tiny (1 inch - 2 feet). You gain a +2 bonus to your armor class, in addition to a +5 bonus to Dexterity (Stealth) checks. Your size makes it difficult for other creatures to spot you or land a solid hit.
- Small (2 - 4 feet). (No changes)
- Medium (4 - 8 feet). (No changes)
- Large (8 - 16 feet). Your reach is increased by 5 feet, your carrying capacity is doubled, and your armor class is decreased by 1.
- Huge (16 - 32 feet). Your reach is increased by 10 feet, your carrying capacity is quadrupled, and your armor class is decreased by 2.
- Gargantuan (32+ feet). Your reach is increased by 15 feet, your carrying capacity is multiplied by eight, and your armor class is decreased by 3.
