Morale

Likelihood the monster stands firm in the face of adversity rather than flee. This base rating can be modified depending on particular circumstances. For additional morale rules, see Appendix A.

2-4 Unreliable
5-7 Unsteady
8-10 Average
11-12 Steady
13-14 Veteran
15-16 Champion
17-18 Fanatic
19-20 Fearless

To make a moral-check, role 2d10. If the number is lower than the monster's rating, it stands firm, if the number is higher, it flees.

Size

Size categories are abbreviated thus:

Abr. Size Category
T Tiny (2 ft. or under)
S Small (2.5-4 ft.)
M Medium (4.5-7 ft.)
L Large (7.5-12 ft.)
H Huge (12.5-25 ft.)
G Gargantuan (25 ft. or over)

Most creatures are measured in length, height. However, certain creatures of peculiar dimensions are assigned a size-category which does not adhere strictly to the above qualifications. For instance; a 12 ft. snake is far longer than it is tall or heavy, so despite being within the parametres of the large size-category, it is classed under the medium size-category, as the mechanical consquences thereof more accurately reflect the spacial reality of said creature.
