Currently on the Racial Sizes page it states that Imps are Tiny size and Fey are Small size

As we know, sizes dictate certain bonuses or debuffs that you get.

I'm trying to understand as to why Imps are smaller than Fey? I understand that Fey just got a remodel, PURELY for fashion. There was no gameplay change, no roleplay change, nothing. We simply provided Fey more of a way to express their characters, so I don't feel like this is a good argument as to why Fey should remain under the Small category.

Code: Select all
I am NOT including NIxies in this. I don't even know why they are on the wiki, because they are an AQUATIC Fey. Arelith does not support you creating a Nixie because Fey do not innately possess the ability to breathe underwater or speak Aquan. "Nixie" should ultimately be removed from the Wiki page. Similarly I'm not including Spriggans, which should be removed from the Wiki as well. They're up to *TWELVE FEET TALL* which exceeds the current "Small" status and they don't have wings. I'm hesitant to even include Shaedlings because you don't possess the innate ability to cast Darkness. If they want players to roleplay as these races, Fey should be forced to select a Subclass on creation to dictate what innate languages and abilities you'll get.
Back to the topic, I know that we have our own separate pages on Fey and Imps specifically for clarification as to what they are on Arelith, but these pages do not claim any kind of information regarding how big or small each character should be, and it very much makes it confusing as to what we're supposed to be roleplaying as when it names EIGHT different types of Fey, and only TWO of them are noted as the "Closest to the Arelith representation."
Because of this, I'm going to cite the FR pages. Specifically the tabs that say "3e". Under those tabs, each and every fey is on average, SMALLER than Imps, ranging anywhere between 1 foot and 2.5 feet, so they could be anywhere UNDER a foot and up to four feet. An Imp's AVERAGE is, flatly, 2.5 feet, meaning they can be anywhere between one and FOUR feet (About the size of the average Halfling, which is considered Small!). Despite this, Imps are currently the only Tiny race in the game, and their original model is actually BIGGER than the Pixie model, and about the same size as the current Fey model, if you want to argue about model sizes.
So, why are Fey stuck at Small? They should be Tiny, either just the same as Imps, or Imps should be swapped to Small and Fey swapped to Tiny.
