I was burning up a Troll for my weekly game and couldn't find any rules for massive stature and weapon length. I assume a trolls reach is quite a bit longer than my puny players but I was wondering if anyone had come up with a standard modifier for different sized characters.

Massive Stature grants a +1D advantage die when positioning. Weapon length advantage is decided seperately. At least, that's how Luke played the Giant last Sunday. (It wasn't a very big giant! :oops: )

i dont' have the books with me at work, but I'm pretty certain that there's something about that in the trait description for Massive Stature in the Character Burner.

Not exactly. Or at least, Luke didn't include the Massive Stature Positioning bonus in the book.

Mike, check the entry for Massive Stature on page 281 of the Revised Character Burner.

This character is the size of a Troll. Due to his imposing bulk, his weapon length categories are increased by one step. If wielding a "longest" weapon, he may count his weapon longer than longest!

Thanks for the helps guys. As an odd twist my group had to call it a night before the Trolls could enter the fray so the pain will wait until next week.

As a quick side note "Black Wings" is my new favorite Orc ritual and my wizard PC's most hated. After all the nail bitting of casting a Ob 10 Mage Light ,as the Orc's charged the keep they were defending, to suddenly have a "may not" thrown his way almost brought him to tears.
