Does anyone have any idea how I would implement this?

I have a section of a campaign planned where the PCs are shrunk/forced into doll bodies or something. Could I just scale everything else up (boring), or 'divide' up squares into 4 (effectively making medium and small 'large') and give the players templates?

Liberty's Edge

I vote to keep it simple, and just scale everything up. It will require less work on your part and the part of your players. For massive versions of giant animals or what-have-you, use stats for dire animals or giants and whatnot.

UNLESS, you thing that the situation might arise where the some PCs will be normal-sized and some will be doll-sized. Then you might just want to use the size and combat rules in the core rulebook.


In Green Ronin's Advanced Bestiary for D&D 3.5 there is the miniature template that was created for just such a scenario, along with it there are a few sidebars on how to implement it effectively. You can still find used copies on amazon.com fairly cheap and I think you can get it in PDF form as well.

These might be useful:

Dire Goat
Dire Porcupine
