    • As of Early Access Patch 9, this limitation is not applied consistently to all creatures. For example, Scratch the dog is of Medium size but can be used as an improvised weapon by other Medium creatures (with 17 or higher Strength).
    • Creature sizes can be increased or decreased by the Enlarge/Reduce Enlarge/Reduce spell.
