	'''Size ~~Damage~~''' is a special ~~multiplier where a smaller opponent is able~~ to ~~deal extra~~ damage to ~~a larger one~~, ~~usually after scoring~~ a ~~'''~~Critical ~~Hit''' from an~~ [[~~Attack Roll~~]], or through ~~the use of special equipment~~ or [[Metaphor]]s.		'''Size Bonus Multiplier''' is a special modifier given to characters of [[Size]] 2 or larger, the damage or healing dealt or taken is multiplied by their Size-Rating. They may also gain modifiers to other stats, and increase the number of bonus dice they roll.

			This multiplier can also be used by smaller characters whenever they score a Critical (Rolling 12 on a d12) using their [[Versatile Bonus]] to gain Size Bonus Damage, or through an Equipment or [[Metaphor]] effect. Some effects can also reduce this multiplier.

			==Size Bonus Modifier==
			The Size Bonus Multiplier is applied to the attacks and abilities of a character who is Size 2 or larger, or Size Tiny or smaller. Damage and Healing is multiplied by this value, other effects may also scale but only linearly (1, 2, 3, 4...etc). Size increases the number of dice rolled in '''dice bonuses''', but only one per Size above 1.

			<small>''"A Size 4 creature deals four times more damage or healing with their attacks and abilities, and may gain a +4 bonus to other things which are affected by Size. If the creature has dice bonuses, they may roll three additional die when prompted."''</small>

	==Size Damage ~~Multiplier~~==		==Gaining Size Bonus Damage==
	To deal Size Damage ~~by any means~~, ~~one can~~ score a '''Critical Hit''' by rolling a 12 on a d12 during an Attack roll. They can use the result of the exploded Meta-die's [[Versatile Bonus]] to declare a precision attack against a giant-sized foe. The attack is treated as being a Size equal to that die's result ~~for the purpose of calculating damage to the giant target~~, but only up to the target's actual [[Size]]-Rating ~~minus the attacker's Size above 1~~.

If two Giants of equal size fight, '''neither''' can gain a Size Damage bonus against the other.

			==Size Bonus Reduction==
			Because Giant creatures can deal lethal amounts of damage, there is an counterpart to Size Bonus Modifiers known as '''Size Bonus Reduction'''. A character who has, or is under the effects of this mechanic '''reduces''' an opponent's Size Bonus to a '''lower''' value, to a minimum of the user's own Size-Rating.

			'''Resistance'''
			A character with Size/Crush Resistance treats a larger creature's attacks and abilities as if they were '''half''' their Size-Rating, rounded down. If different sources give Resistance, subsequent stacks '''round up'''.

			'''Reduction X'''
			A character with Size/Crush Reduction treats a larger creature's attacks and abilities as if they were a fixed number of Sizes smaller. X denotes the number of Sizes reduced. Reduction can stack with Resistance, and if it does, Resistance is calculated before Reduction (to a minimum of 1).

'''Size Damage''' is a special multiplier where a smaller opponent is able to deal extra damage to a larger one, usually after scoring a '''Critical Hit''' from an [[Attack Roll]], or through the use of special equipment or [[Metaphor]]s.

==Size Damage Multiplier==
To deal Size Damage by any means, one can score a '''Critical Hit''' by rolling a 12 on a d12 during an Attack roll. They can use the result of the exploded Meta-die's [[Versatile Bonus]] to declare a precision attack against a giant-sized foe. The attack is treated as being a Size equal to that die's result for the purpose of calculating damage to the giant target, but only up to the target's actual [[Size]]-Rating minus the attacker's Size above 1.

Another way to deal Size Damage is through the enhancements of [[Equipment]] or through [[Metaphor]]s.

If a piece of equipment specifically treats its damage as being a certain Size larger to bigger foes, then its damage is multiplied or increased by 100%. If conditions such as requiring to beat the target's [[Deflection]] need to be met before the bonus can trigger, the character must meet the condition before the damage can be modified.

==Damage Limits==
The Size Damage bonus can only multiply damage up to the target's '''Size Rating''', and if the attacker is bigger than Size 1, then the maximum bonus is lowered equal to the difference between the two combatants.

No matter how high the Size Damage multiplier is, a Size 1 Human can't deal more than x4 damage against a Size 4 Giant. And if a Size 2 Half-Giant attacks the same foe, they wouldn't be able to deal more than +200% damage due to the difference in their sizes. If two Giants of equal size fight, neither can gain a Size Damage bonus against the other.

==Smaller Creatures==
To determine the multipliers for creatures smaller than 1 (Medium):

{| class="wikitable"
| '''Size Category''' || '''Body Scale''' || '''Damage Mult''' || '''Size Damage required versus Medium'''
|-
| '''Small''' || 1/2th || 1x || -
|-
| '''Tiny''' || 1/4th || 0.5x || 2
|-
| '''Diminutive''' || 1/8th || 0.25x || 4
|-
| '''Fine''' || 1/16th || 0.125x || 8
