Really Tiny

MrNexx · Posted: Fri Apr 07, 2017 9:20 am Post subject: Really Tiny

So, I've been watching Clone Wars when I can, and I got to the series where a bunch of droids travel with a very tiny officer... probably less than 30cm, as he can travel in a hollowed-out R5 head comfortably.

Are there any canon stats for such a tiny sophont? How would you go about statting such a creature?

These guys: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Patitite ?

No canon d6 stats, of course, because they post-date WEG's dissolution. And, I don't think they're covered anywhere.

If I were to homebrew something, I might just stat 'em out as any near-human species - or perhaps humans - and then introduce a new scale smaller than character scale - let's call it "tiny scale" or something - and just apply scale modifiers to everything.

Looked him up; Gascon was Zilkin.

I worked up a rule for my scale system for beings and objects smaller than Character scale. Check it out...

Wow, 6d+1 max Dex???!

Yeah that seems a bit excessive with the +1D to difficulty to hit them as well. Also (and I haven't seen the episode) but 3D+1 Strength?

Yeah, I'd have cut back the STR to 2Dish maximum
and left the DEX in the 4D to 4D+2 neighborhood,
while maybe granting them a jumping bonus for the
relatively significant leaps (for his size) that he makes.

Gascon himself is both agile and resilient in the episode, but that's
attributable in part to his small size, as well as his specific character's combat training.

I would suggest giving them more standard stats, but then applying a -2D Scale modifier where appropriate. He's smaller, so harder to hit, but suffers the same limitations when trying to damage someone else. Plus, with his small size, weapons in his scale would need to be the equivalent of a rocket launcher to inflict damage on Character-Scale targets.
