OVERVIEW

Ever felt that a towering giant should have more reach than a halfling? Or that a tiny creature should be harder to hit?

This mod makes creature size a meaningful element of combat. It uses a scripting system to adjust a creature's reach, combat stats, and ability scores based on its current size. All features are managed through a comprehensive Mod Configuration Menu (MCM) for a personalized ruleset.

I. CORE MECHANIC: DYNAMIC REACH & THREAT RANGE

The heart of this mod is its system for adjusting melee reach. To ensure full compatibility with core game mechanics like Opportunity Attacks, the mod works as follows:

When a creature's size changes, the mod instantly generates a new version of its equipped weapon with the correctly scaled reach and replaces it. All statuses on the original weapon, including enchantments and their remaining durations, are seamlessly transferred. When the creature's size reverts, the original weapon is returned. This method ensures a creature's threat range is genuinely altered.
