SIZ Equivalents

Hi Guys,

Anyone have a comprehensive SIZ table or explanation as to how to interpret this better? I get the statistic itself, just relating it to creatures is where I am experiencing the problem.

Thanks in advance!

Dont know if it will be of any help, but BRP big gold book has a size equivalents table, dont think i can reproduce it here though, but if it helps SIZE 12 would be between 170-175cm (68-70 inches) in height, and weigh between 46-109kg (100-240 pounds)
Size 20 as a comparison is about 210-215cm tall, weigh 90 -183kg.

Awesome, thanks for the help. It is definitely a place to start.

1 SIZ point roughly equates to a weight of 0.5 to 5.5kg/1-12lbs according to my CoC 5.6 edition p135. The problem with SIZ is that when using it to examine either real life things or monsters it often falls down.

For example I was looking at a Stoorworm SIZ12D6 and, using the same density as a human being, I came out with an average sized Stoorworm of SIZ40 (1760-1919lbs on the chart) that is roughly 3m long by 0.3m diameter (10 feet long by 1 foot diameter) - not very fearsome. SIZ60 (7 short tons) comes out at about 5m long by 1m diameter. When you consider a SMART car is 2.5 meters long and 1.5 meters wide things don't seem to add up. No Stoorworm is going to manage to swallow a human being without some unusual mechanism allowing it to expand its jaws greatly.
