SIZ and mass (RQ2)

[ryhopewood]

OK, new table. At least it seems to be ok for humans, horses and dragons.

Edit. Slight modification to table

Good stuff! What formula did you use? I can turn this into a PDF if people want it. Compared to the RQ3 table, which has some odd intervals, this is much more consistent.

The formula was not so easy. I tried first to use fixed calculation SIZ=(weight of siz-1)*1,08+5 but it did not work out - the average humans were too heavy and then the horses were too light.

I couldn't get the straigth table to work as it should. So finally, In table above, there is some spots which are little bit wonky (mainly from siz 14 to siz 25, and to siz30):

From siz 1 to siz 10, each siz step is exactly 5 kg
From siz 11 to 13, each siz is 1,05 * weight of previous siz + 5
From siz 14 to 24, each siz is 1,115* weight of previous siz + 5
Siz 25 = 1,112 * weight of previous siz + 5
Siz 26 = 1,109 * weight of previous siz + 5
Siz 27 = 1,106 * weight of previous siz + 5
Siz 28 = 1,103 * weight of previous siz + 5
Siz 29 = 1,1 * weight of previous siz + 5
Siz 30 = 1,09 * weight of previous siz + 5
Siz 31 = 1,08 * weight of previous siz + 5
from siz 31 -> the calculation is 1,074 * wieght of previous siz + 5

The reason to use high multiplier around 14-24 is to get the siz 25 high enough for horses, griffins and such. The reason to lower the multiplier after that is to not to make bigger beast too big (if one uses multiplier 1,115 to the end, then the dragon will be REALLY huge). And I wanted to keep the Siz 100 weight around the RQ3 levels.

Within that table, smallest horse (siz 20) would be 203 kg, and biggest one (siz 30) 722 kg. That sounds about right. Smallest ones being ponys. I know that there has been bigger horses than that, but it is close enough.

Also, within this table, siz 65 dragon arount 9 tons. Sounds ok, although I have never seen any dragons in real life so I cannot be sure

Humans will be from Siz 8 = 42 kg to Siz 21 = 261 kg. Siz 21 human is HUGE but sounds reasonable?

Average giant will weight about 3 tons. For a 16-meter high giant that should be reasonable I think, but I have never seen giants either.

Edit: Probably the table values should be rounded a little bit in high end. For example, siz 60 should be 6,2 tons - 6,7 tons. Makes the table easier to read
