A 14 hex dragon ends up weighing less than 16,000lbs if you use 1.5 as an exponent instead, for what it's worth.

I thought it was interesting that 1.5 really does track the numbers in RAW. Maybe Steve used the same rule, but I'd wager it's coincidence.

In the Book of Unlife, a one hex golem "typically" has ST of 50 to 100. That's rather a lot of ST, but of course, it's all magic and whatnot. (I happen to love the golem. It's rare to have someone who could create such a beast, since it requires both theologian and create elemental, but that sounds just about right to me. I have one NPC who can make 'em and I don't anticipate ever having another who can do so.)
