medium is human size ish, small is gnome, tiny is like a small dog, diminutive is like a squirrel and fine is like a bottle cap right? its kind of hard to distinguish and it seems to make a big diffrence in some cases

That sounds about right. Diminutive is for insects, pretty much.

When looking at the greatest physical dimension (height for bipeds, length for quad+peds): Medium is between 4' and 8', Small is between 2' and 4', Tiny is between 1' and 2', Diminutive is between 0.5' and 1', and Fine is anything less than 0.5'.

Similarly, Large is between 8' and 16', Huge is between 16' and 32', Gargantuan is between 32' and 64', and Colossal is anything greater than 64'.

So Fine size basically covers everything from miniscule insects up to very small (as in child-size) rodents. Or gold coins and small jewelry items.

Oddly, the spiders, locusts, and centipedes in swarms are listed as Diminutive, not Fine. They're apparently about as big as bats! They must be some fairly large specimens.

None of the core monsters appear to be Fine, but you can search the Monster Index (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/lists/monsters) for example of Fine creatures. (Just Ctrl+F "Fine".) As one might expect, they're most often encountered in swarms.

Well, the PHB example for fine is a fly. So, yeah. They're pretty small.

My girlfriend told me not to worry.

It's fine how it is, no matter how small it is.

Rule of thumb - each size category up doubles in size. Humans are 5-6 feet, so that's your standard for Medium. A Small humanoid would be around 2.5-3 feet, a Tiny humanoid would be 1.25-1.5 feet, a Fine humanoid would be 6-9", and a Diminutive humanoid would be 3-5".... or smaller, since that's the last category.

Works reasonably well, but isn't exact.

Fine is from this: .
to the box in which it is written.

Fine is anything cat-sized or smaller. Because a cat is fine too... :smallwink:
