Re: Snakes and Size Modifier
Honestly I think trying to reference food consumption into the SM system is a bad idea on any other than the most simplistic or like for like comparisons.
There are far, far, far more relevant variables in terms of what an organism need to consume, that will generally speaking completely overwhelm the SM scale. |

Re: Snakes and Size Modifier
There are aspects of reality more or less important to gaming. I can bear an SM system that sometimes doesn't scale well with calories consumption, if the modifier is consistent, relevant an playable with regard to more important issues.

Re: Snakes and Size Modifier
Somewhat, but you're specifically looking at a case of major shape divergence, which is where they're not.

FWIW, basing food consumption on SM is dumb anyway; BL with an adjustment for Move is probably the closest to reasonable. |

Re: Snakes and Size Modifier
Would you have a suggestion for a specific formula? Not that it's likely one will be needed in actual play, but it'd be neat to have one anyway.

Re: Snakes and Size Modifier
I would say just basic Strength adjusted for Speed not Move. It's not what you can do, but metabolically must do, that would matter most over day(s) calorically.
