Big (Perk)

Big is a universal Tier 1 perk which can sometimes be granted to characters by an archetype, otherwise this perk can only be taken at Lv1 only. It has two linked perks called Huge and Gigantic.

The Perks permanently increases the size of the affected character as if it were their normal size. They can still be affected by size-changing effects but when dispelled will revert those characters to their new size category.

Tier 1: Big

You're much bigger compared to the rest of your species, you might even be called a Giant by mundane standards.

♦ Big increases the user's size stat by 1.5x. If the user is Medium sized (1), they become Medium+ sized (1.5). If the user is Large (2), they become Large+ (3).
> This perk works differently if used on a Small or Tiny sized character: Small (0.7) becomes Medium (1) and Tiny (0.4) becomes Small (0.7); this exception makes the perk valuable to Small or smaller characters.

Tier 2: Huge

You're now so big you tower over your species, you can officially be considered a Giant amongst your kind.

♦ Huge increases the user's size stat by 2x. If the user is Medium (1) before, they are now Large (2). If the user was Large (2), they become Huge (4).
> As above: Tiny (0.4) becomes Medium (1) and Small (0.7) becomes Large (2).

♦ The Huge perk requires the user has access to Tier 2 perks AND has an active Big perk applied,
♦ Huge overwrites Big, they do not stack.

Tier 3: Gigantic

You're now so much larger than your previous size that if you don't see eye to eye with other giants, you likely outgrew them too!

♦ Gigantic increases the user's size stat by 4x. If the user was Medium (1)before, they are now Huge (4). If the user was Large (20, they become Gargantuan (8).
> It is not likely for any creature to be less than Large size with Gigantic active on a character.

♦ The Gigantic perk requires the user has access to Tier 3 perks AND has an active Huge perk applied,
♦ Gigantic overwrites Huge, they do not stack.

Rules & Limitations

Maximum Size Limit

♦ These perks cannot be used to increase a character's size beyond Colossal+ (24). This includes temporary effects that increase size.
♦ If a character is already Colossal+ (24) and is subject to a size-enlargement effect, it will fail.

Can only be taken during creation

♦ These Perks are only obtainable if a character selects the Big perk as their first perk choice or select an Archetype which grants them that perk.
♦ The Big perk becomes unobtainable for characters at Lv2 and onwards.

When taken by Tiny or Small-sized creatures

♦ These perks can be taken by Tiny and Small sized races, except instead of increasing half a size, they enlarge by one whole category until Medium-sized.
> In order from Big to Gigantic: Small becomes Medium becomes Large becomes Huge. Tiny becomes Small becomes Medium becomes Large.

Perks must be taken in order

♦ Once the perk Big is obtained, the player can only take Huge before Gigantic. Huge requires Big as a pre-req and Gigantic requires Huge as a pre-req.
