Description
A Greater Defect. This Defect only applies to non-living Items, since characters and creatures should acquire a Size Template instead (page 32). Awkward Size means the Item is notably larger and more massive than an ordinary human. An Item with Awkward Size may have trouble fitting through openings and moving through narrow alleys, and is much easier to notice. The larger the Item, the more Points this Defect will be worth (-2 Points/Rank). Size usually refers to the Item’s longest dimension. Additionally, larger Items make bigger targets in ranged combat. For every Awkward Size category the target is larger than the attacker, the attacker gains a +2 bonus to hit with a ranged weapon. Conversely, for every Awkward Size category the target is smaller than the attacker, the attacker receives a -2 penalty with a ranged weapon. For example, if a Huge Size 2 Item and a Gigantic Size 4 Item are in ranged combat, the Size 2 Item gains a +4 bonus to hit while the Gigantic Size 4 Item gains a -4 penalty to hit. Table-15 shows the progression of mass and height. Select a size and then assign an appropriate mass (usually within the range provide). Size 0 (the usual human-sized Medium standard) is shown for comparison purposes.
