Release v1.2.0 — Small PC Size Normalization

PF2e Creature Size Matters

New Features

• Treat Small Player Characters as Medium setting — a softer option for
  tables that don't want size category to penalize a player's choice of
  ancestry. When enabled, Small player characters (gnomes, goblins,
  halflings, etc.) are treated as Medium for all size-differential
  calculations — both when they're attacking and when they're being
  attacked.
  • Applies symmetrically: a normalized Small PC neither takes bonus
    damage as a smaller target nor deals bonus damage as a smaller
    attacker — size is simply removed from the equation for that PC.
  • PCs only. Small NPCs and monsters are unaffected and retain
    their true size category.
  • The GM-facing chat card shows the normalization when it applies
    (e.g. Small → Medium), so it's clear at a glance why the
    differential resolved the way it did.

Notes

• Default: Enabled. This module favors not penalizing player choice
  by default. Tables that want strict size rules applied to Small PCs
  can disable this in module settings.
• Validated in a live session against Large NPC attackers and Small NPC
  targets — confirmed correct behavior for PC-attacking, PC-defending,
  and NPC-unaffected cases.

What's Changed

• Add treatSmallPCsAsMedium setting and getEffectiveSize() helper
• Document the new setting in README

v1.1.0 - Fixes & Features

PF2e Creature Size Matters

New Features

• Save Roll Mode setting — choose how saves are handled:
  • Post to Chat (default) — posts an inline Reflex save check to public
    chat that players roll themselves with their own bonuses
  • GM Rolls — GM rolls the save against the target actor directly
  • Both — shows both buttons on the card

Fixes

• Per-category tier overrides — damage tier overrides now correctly multiply
  by the actual size differential rather than returning a flat value
  • Example: Tier 2 set to 20 at 2 categories = 40 total (20 × 2)
  • Example: Tier 3 set to 12 at 4 categories = 48 total (12 × 4)

Notes

• Post to Chat saves are always public regardless of Whisper GM setting
• Both buttons can be used independently on the same card

What's New

This is the initial release of PF2e Creature Size Matters — a GM-facing
module that addresses one of PF2e's most immersion-breaking normalizations:
the fact that a Gargantuan dragon and a Medium fighter deal damage as if size
is purely cosmetic.

Core Features

Size Differential Bonus Damage
When a larger creature successfully hits a smaller one in melee, the GM receives
a prompt with calculated bonus damage scaled to the size category difference.
Default +5 per category — fully configurable.

Reflex Save Requirement
The sheer force of a larger creature's strike requires the target to make a
Reflex save or suffer a condition. Default DC 10 + 5 per size category.
Conditions are configurable per tier.

Draggable Condition Links
On-card condition links (Off-Guard, Prone, Clumsy) render as draggable PF2e
inline links — drag directly onto the target token after a failed save.

Critical Hit Support
Bonus damage automatically doubles on a critical hit. A setting controls
whether this is automatic or presents the GM with both options.

Melee Only
Triggers only on successful melee attack rolls. Ranged attacks, spells, and
abilities are not affected.

GM Whisper by Default
The size differential card is whispered to the GM only, keeping the mechanic
transparent to you without cluttering player chat.

• Base Reflex DC — default 10
• DC modifier per category — default 5
• Condition at 1 category difference — Off-Guard / Clumsy 1 / None

Compatibility

	Version
Foundry VTT	13+
PF2e System	6.0.0+
Verified	Foundry 13.347, PF2e 7.12.2

---

Known Limitations

• Bonus damage applied via the Apply button bypasses PF2e's IWR
  (Immunity, Weakness, Resistance) pipeline — GMs should account for
  relevant resistances manually
• Size differential only applies to melee attacks
• Requires a target to be set before the attack roll for the hook to
  fire correctly

feeling like slightly larger goblins.
