 ===== Scale =====
-^ Number ^ Adjective  ^ Examples  ^
+All characters are represented by their scale. Scale is an abstract term that encompasses both physical size as well as individuals. Scale will also adjust the length of time for each exchange. When nations engage in a conflict each exchange will often represent several weeks of time.
-| 0 | Diminutive  | A creature that can fit into your hand;  |
-| 1 | Tiny  | A smaller that human creature; a dog  |
+When in conflict with entites more than one step from your scale any individual weapon damage bonuses, armor ratings, or stunts are meaningless - unless they say otherwise or it makes narrative sense.
-| 2 | Small  | A human-sized creature; a horse, rowboat, carriage  |
-| 3 | Medium  | The size of ten men; a cottage or long ship  |
+For each scale of difference any conflict gets the following adjustments:
-| 4 | Large  | A large dragon or giant; small castle, average village, cog or carrack  |
-| 5 | Huge  | A once-in-a-lifetime dragon; medium-sized castle or town, floating island  |
+  * +1 to any Actions.
-| 6 | Enormous  | Mythical dragon so large it is part of the landscape  |
+  * +2 to the attacker's Weapon Damage or defenders's armor rating.
-| 7 | Colossal  | A living forest or vast dimensional entity; large city or fleet of ships  |
-| 8 | World  | A creature the size of an ocean or world; a kingdom, continent, or world  |
+^ Scale ^ Examples  ^
-| 9 | Planar  | Something spanning many worlds or planes of existence  |
+| Tiny  | Smaller than a cat or dog  |
-| 10 | Internection  | Something spanning the whole existence  |
+| Human  | A human, elf, dwarf, horse, cottage, or skiff  |
+| Giant  | A single giant, dragon, company of men, a village, or long ship  |
+| Local  | A large dragon, keep, town, or carrack  |
+| Regional  | An area large enough for tens of thousands of people  |
+| Nation  | A entire nation with hundreds of thousands of people  |
+| Empire  | An area filled with millions of people  |
+| World  | An area with hundreds of millions of people  |
+| Plane  | Multiple inhabited worlds encompassing billions of people  |
+<note tip>
+While [[lore:The Guild]] is able to operate over a larger area, it does not have the size of a nation, so its scale will be set as Regional. The [[orgs:phoenix_force]] is few in number so they are created at Giant scale. When The Guild attacks Phoenix Force they get a +2 to their attack and gain a +2 Weapon Damage. When they defend against Phoenix Force they get a +2 to their defense and an Armor:2 rating.
