Size Categories
Creatures can be Tiny, Small, Medium, Large, Huge, or Gargantuan.

| Tiny | 6 kg / 13 lb | Cat |
| Small | 40 kg / 88 lb | Goblin, Halfling, Gnome |
| Medium | 200 kg / 441 lb | Human, Elf, Dwarf, and many other Playable Races |

Notes:
- 'Maximum Weight' in this table refers to the weight of the creature, rather than the creature's carrying capacity, which is determined by its Strength.
- When the
Enlarge/Reduce spell increases or decreases a creature's Size and weight, additional weight is added or subtracted if necessary to place the creature in the correct Size category.
Effects of Creature Size
- Smaller creatures tend to have slower Movement Speed.
- Creatures in the Small and Tiny size categories have
Disadvantage on Attack Rolls with 
Heavy weapons, due to the size and bulk of Heavy weapons. (Note: This penalty is not yet implemented as of EA Patch 9.)
