Default Re: Size Modifier/Attributes

This is a table for weight, ST, and Movement, scaled to 100 lbs, ST 10, and Move 10 at SM 0.

ST is scaled linearly with length, movement is scaled with the square root of length (which isn't entirely realistic but it gives numbers that aren't crazy).

To scale a dragon from one size to another, take it's measurement at it's current size, divide by the table value at that SM, and multiply by the table value at the desired size.

Example:
An SM+5 Dragon weighs 50000 lbs, has ST 88, and Move 15. The same dragon, scaled down to SM-7, weighs 0.05 lbs, has ST 1 (1.17, if it matters), and has move 2 (1.67 if it matters).
The same dragon, scaled down to SM-3, weighs 5 lbs, has ST 5 (4.7 exactly) and Move 3.

I don't think DX, IQ, or HT is going to meaningfully scale with size.

Code:
SM	Weight	ST	Movement
7	337500	150	39
6	100000	100	32
5	42188	75	27
4	12500	50	22
3	4287.5	35	19
2	1139	23	15
1	3378	15	12
0	100	10	10
-1	42.2	8	9
-2	12.5	5	7
-3	4.29	4	6
-4	1.14	3	5
-5	0.34	2	4
-6	0.1	1	3
-7	0.04	1	3
