Giant animals, insects, and
humanoids are physically impossible. However, such critters
are a staple of science fiction, fantasy and horror genres. A
referee may just handwave away the impossibility of such beings, but
for those of a more "rational" bent, we offer the following
rationale for the existence giant critters.
Empathic abilities are not reliant
upon intelligence, and may manifest themselves naturally and
subconsciously. This is the case with giant critters.
Giant critters have an innate
Change Environment (Extended) ability
(identical to the Sorcerer's skill) that extends only to themselves.
Typically, this simply affects gravity, allowing the critter's legs
to support its own weight. In the case of some critters
(especially giant insects), it also creates a dense envelope of air
around the animal, allowing it to breathe where it otherwise would
not be able to. This also gives the animal an additional AV of
1 to all hit locations.
The "Giant Critter Rule" can also
be used to rationalize the flying abilities of some creatures.
Such critters have an innate
Sorcerous Flight ability.
