Shattered Kingdoms

I'm not sure if this exists or not but how can you determine the size of creatures/NPCs? I would think glance should say something about their size--i.e. a large swamp boa is here. Am I missing something? If there isn't a way to determine this other than identifying the corpse of the NPC there definitely should be, especially considering how important the correct size is when using weapons and armor.

Kill it, then look at the corpse.

Possibly add size to the GLANCE response?

That is presently the only way, yes.

It would be nice if you didn't have to kill them to see, there are quite a few charms/controls that you can't tell until you kill it.

If your a sorc... c 'shrink' *NPC*

However many times it takes to get to the smallest it can get is how big it is.

What mund said for sorcs. A necro could give his controls gear of varying sizes and see what fits. If it can wear small, medium, and large, for example, it is a medium-sized NPC.

I've heard or made the suggestion about including size into the glance output.

Thanks Achernar, thats exactly what I was hoping for.

To anyone offering ways of figuring out what size something is either via varying equipment or other methods I know all of the ghetto ways there are to figure out if something is giant size vs medium size... But I'd kind of prefer to use say, my eyeballs? Something every class has.

size definitely matters... any girl who tells you otherwise is lying... especially where dulrik is concerned
