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 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.
  • The weight of a creature effects whether or not a character can Throw Throw or Shove Shove it.
    • A creature may throw items and other creatures weighing up to Strength * Strength * 0.2 kg. For example, a Fighter with a Strength score of 18 can throw objects weighing up to 64.8 kg / 130 lb.
