You kinda need a collosal dragon for a medium heavy armor, no ?
well, to start with, the idea was stated tongue-in-cheek, based out of the silliness of my wandering, unoccupied mind. (I probably should have said so -- sorry)
the idea that I was going from was perhaps:
- 4 small creatures = 1 medium creatures
- 4 medium = 1 large
- ......
- 1024 small = 1 colossal
you know, and patch it all together, or whatever.
like I said, I was just being facetious.
of course, I find the mechanics based around size categories to be a bit contrived at times. lets look at the dragonhide bit for a minute:
- a colossal dragon could be used to make a single suit of half-plate for a single large creature; whether that creature is:
--- a frost giant (15 feet tall, 2800 lbs) --or--
--- a minotaur (half as tall, and 1/4 the weight)
go figure. given those dimensions, logic would dictate that it could make 1 suit for the frost giant or 2 suits for the minotaur.
just an observation.
