Size
The size of a Horror can be a significant factor in creating a visually striking and mechanically interesting encounter. The size of a Horror not only determines how much space it takes up on a standard 5 ft. grid, but it can also impact its abilities and how it interacts with its environment.
The sizes are simplified and represented as follows:
Small - Occupies a 1x1x(1/2) cube. These are compact Horrors, often sneaky and elusive.
Medium - Fits within a 1x1x1 cube. This is the size of most Hunters and human-sized Horrors.
Large - Spreads out over a 2x2x2 cube. These Horrors can tower over Hunters and present formidable challenges.
Massive - Takes up a 3x3x3 cube. These Horrors are truly terrifying in their scale and power.
Enormous - Fills a 4x4x4 cube. Encountering a Horror of this size is a significant event that will be remembered.
Colossal - Dominates a 5x5x5 cube. The sight of such a Horror can send even the bravest Hunters running in fear.
Overseer: "Jason, I'm planning to throw a Colossal Horror at my Hunters. I want it to be an unforgettable encounter. Any advice?"
Jason: "Wow, that's ambitious! A Colossal Horror can indeed be a memorable event. Make sure to use its size to create challenges. Maybe it can cause the terrain to change with every step it takes, or its massive size makes it hard to harm with regular weapons."
Overseer: "Oh, I like that idea! The Hunters will have to be more creative and strategic in their approach. They might even have to look for weak spots or devise a way to climb the creature to reach its head."
Jason: "Exactly, the size of a Horror can really shake up the dynamics of an encounter. Just remember, it's not just about making the Horror bigger, it's about making the encounter more exciting."
Remember, the specified sizes are just guidelines and can be adjusted to best fit the Horror's characteristics. For example, a long, serpentine Horror might occupy a large volume but in a different shape. It's all about what best suits the Horror and makes the encounter engaging and fun for your Hunters.
