       * For [[mounted]] units, the Size of the **mount** is taken into consideration. If the mount's Size is 2 greater than the attacker's reach, only the mount can be hit; otherwise, the chance of hitting the mount is 30%, plus 10% times the mount's Size, minus 10% times the attacker's reach.        * For [[mounted]] units, the Size of the **mount** is taken into consideration.

           * If the mount is humongous to their rider, there is an extra chance for the mount to be hit instead of the rider; 25% if the Size gap is 3, 50% if the Size gap is 4, and 75% if the Size gap is 5 or greater.           * If the mount is humongous to their rider, there is an extra chance for the mount to be hit instead of the rider; 25% if the Size gap is 3, 50% if the Size gap is 4, and 75% if the Size gap is 5 or greater.
-          * If a rider outlives their mount, they fall from it, taking damage relative to the Size difference. 
   * In melee combat, an attacker that is larger than their target is harder to hold off, while an attacker that is smaller than their target is easier to hold off. The Size difference is factored into the attacker's [[Morale]] roll for brute-forcing through a [[repel]] attempt.   * In melee combat, an attacker that is larger than their target is harder to hold off, while an attacker that is smaller than their target is easier to hold off.

   * Units of Size 6 or greater wield bigger versions of the weapons that units of Size 5 or smaller use; these are one point Longer, so they are better at repelling and have a longer reach.   * Units of Size 6 or greater wield bigger versions of the weapons that units of Size 5 or smaller use; these are one point Longer, so they are better at repelling and have a longer reach.

   * When multiple units are in a square targeted by a missile, the target is randomly chosen, with each unit getting chances equal to their Size. A Size 6 unit is twice as likely to be shot as a Size 3 unit in the same square.   * When multiple units are in a square targeted by a missile, the target is randomly chosen, with each unit getting chances equal to their Size.

       * The chance for mounts much larger than their riders to take hits for their riders also applies in missile combat; otherwise, mounts and their riders have an equal chance to be shot.       * The chance for mounts much larger than their riders to take hits for their riders also applies in missile combat; otherwise, mounts and their riders have an equal chance to be shot.

       * {{:abilities:trample.png?nolink }} Units with the **[[Trample]]** ability will displace enemies **instead**, dealing a minimum of 1 damage to them in the process. The Size gap only has to be 1 or greater in this case, and the displacement drives out all enemy units in the square -- unless they're killed, of course. The Size of the Trampler does not affect the chance of being smushed for additional damage-- this is determined entirely by the target's [[Defence Skill]] without their Shield parry-- but it does add to the smush damage. Note that Tramplers do //not// displace allies unless they're in a [[rout]], since their displacing always does damage.       * {{:abilities:trample.png?nolink }} Units with the **[[Trample]]** ability will displace enemies **instead**, dealing a minimum of 1 damage to them in the process.

   * When a mounted unit's mount dies, the rider (if they're still alive) falls off, taking damage partly determined by the Size difference.

-  * Units set on fire (typically by [[Fire]] magic) take damage that scales off their Size, since bigger units have more surface area that can be burned. The damage is not [[DRN|open-ended]]; it's a roll with a maximum equal to the target's Size, divided by 2, and then rounded up.+  * Units [[burn|set on fire]] (typically by [[Fire]] magic) take damage that scales off their Size, since bigger units have more surface area that can be burned.

   * Units have an innate resistance to [[paralysis]] (something typically dealt by [[Astral]] magic) equal to their Size, which reduces its duration by that much. This is since they have bigger brains, or more nerves to try to make numb, or something.   * Units have an innate resistance to [[paralysis]] (something typically dealt by [[Astral]] magic) equal to their Size, which reduces its duration by that much.

-  * Most beings need to eat. By default, a living, sapient being consumes a number of [[Supplies]] each month equal to their Size minus 2. If their Size is 1 or 2, they consume only 1/2 a unit of Supplies each month. If they're an {{:abilities:animal.png?15&nolink}}[[Animal]], their consumption is halved. +  * Most beings [[gluttony|need to eat]].

   * You can script units to focus on **large monsters** (the game uses the term "monster" in place of units in various places), in which case they'll focus their best efforts on enemies of Size 7 or greater. If there are no enemies of Size 7 or greater, Size 6 enemies will be targeted instead.   * You can script units to focus on **large monsters** (the game uses the term "monster" in place of units in various places), in which case they'll focus their best efforts on enemies of Size 7 or greater.

   * While units can be "hidden" on the strategic map by having larger quantities of other units in the same space, this is significantly tougher to do for units of Size 6 or greater; reports will tend to mention one "towering over the enemy army".   * While units can be "hidden" on the strategic map by having larger quantities of other units in the same space, this is significantly tougher to do for units of Size 6 or greater; reports will tend to mention one "towering over the enemy army".
