A guide to book sizes.

Post by Party in the forest at midnight »

When I made the books it became apparent very quickly that I either had to make one giant book that could fit everyone's hands, which would look horrible on small models. Or, make 3 different book models that were scaled and positioned differently.

As a rule of thumb, small books work with all female models, medium books work with all male models (although small works better with some races), and large books work with half-orcs.

Here's a screenshot guide to show which models have hand clipping (issue for male models or pheno 2 models), or how the book will be held in the hand and if it is floating (issue for female models).

Thanks for sharing the images!

While adding them to the wiki, I noticed there is no recipe for Golden Goblet (Spirits).

Which book is which in the images? Guessing the middle is necro, the one to the right of it is alchemy, the one to the left is the spelltome, the others... unclear. I love them though! Only wish they worked like spellbound wands did!

I updated the image to have their names. You'll have to refresh the image to see it.
