Evangelion Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 It's not as cut and dry as those "large", "small", "medium". Dwarves and duergars are smaller than humans, but bigger than halflings and gnomes. Faeries are smaller than halflings and gnomes. Ogres/Minotaurs are bigger than humans, but smaller than giants.

WagesofSin Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 I think you can even get to something larger than Giants as well, right? Like by using magical means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crimson & Clover Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 It's not as cut and dry as those "large", "small", "medium". Dwarves and duergars are smaller than humans, but bigger than halflings and gnomes. Faeries are smaller than halflings and gnomes. Ogres/Minotaurs are bigger than humans, but smaller than giants. Dwarves and Duergars are the same size as Elves and Humans (try considering same mob with each). Halflings are small as are gnomes, and faeries are tiny. Ogres, Minotaurs, and the Giants are large.

myrek Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 don't use mobs. they aren't always the race they seem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson & Clover Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 No, no. Myrek, I mean considering the same mob with the different races. With one, it'll be the same size, the next, smaller then you, the next, larger then you, and the faeries, much larger then you. That's what I meant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chromatic Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 I remember seeing a size list somewhere... it was... titan large medium small tiny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evangelion Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 No' date=' no. Myrek, I mean considering the same mob with the different races. With one, it'll be the same size, the next, smaller then you, the next, larger then you, and the faeries, much larger then you. That's what I meant[/quote'] If it's a numbers based system, it's entirely possible that dwarves, while classified in the range of "medium", are at a lower end of the scale than humans.

Crimson & Clover Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 It's based on rational numbers. Not decimals. So I guess you're wrong there, Evangelion. =) But if I am wrong, it doesn't really matter in game. A human's bash/bodyslam will last just as long as a dwarf's bash/bodyslam if I'm calculating correctly (minus enlarge via potion/pill/scroll if there's any) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Tick Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 Biggest Fire Giant Stone Giant Ogre Middle Sized Human Drow Dwarf Duergar Avian Illithid Slith Feral Werebeast Half-Elf Small Halfling Gnome Smallest Faerie Its not a number system, and that's how they're divided.

Celerity Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 yeah, with one more size on top for enlarged giants/mobs human/dwarf bodyslam isn't the same, but that isn't because of size differences... Human=dwarf size..no "sub categories" or anything: Huge - warlock Large - giant Medium - dwarf Small - halfling Tiny - faerie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudder Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 Actually guys, it IS a numerical system. 1-5 1 = Tiny 5 = Huge You can figure out the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Tick Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 No, its not. The spell enlarge bases it on a number system like it does everything, but the sizes are not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mya Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 So what next a code quote to dispel doubts ? That list is almost acurrate. Except that gnomes had a blunt damage vulnerability, not a bashing vulnerability. You people always mistake gnomes with halflings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calron Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Obviously it is numerical. You don't program in "huge size" or "medium size", you have a variable (your size descriptor) that represents the value of a number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lemming Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 the sizes are tiny small medium large huge giant I dont know how each race fits into each one but they are based on a number system. The system is not as simple as 1-6 though. My guess would be medium is set to 0 and they go positive and negative from there. The races I am almost positive about the other stuff could be true or complete bull but that is how I figured it always worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudder Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 No one has to believe me. Though don't forget, I was a builder on a number of muds, including this one. Thats the standard for ROM type muds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L-A Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 I remember Celerity posted (different forum, long time ago) about this. It was a 1-5 thing if I remember correctly (exactly what she said here). Mudders posts agree with this - and it seems he knows something about the code. So that's two people with a decent amount of experience saying the same thing... Just like Foxx Mulder, I don't believe in coincidences....
