I remember there being melee/reach diagrams for different size creatures and also diagrams of the various shapes of AoE in the back of the DMG.

Are these in the SRD? I haven't been able to find them except for a hex grid. Unfortunately, my group uses the traditional square grid. If it isn't in the SRD, are equivalent diagrams available legally and for free online somewhere?

They're not in the 3.5 SRD that I'm aware of, but they are in Pathfinder's SRD, here (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/area-effect-diagrams). The mechanics of it haven't changed between "editions," so it should work for 3.5 just fine.

That's exactly what I needed, thanks.

Edit: What do the diagrams look like for a huge creature and for a huge creature with reach, respectively?

Here, I made these in Excel based off of the DMG diagrams:

Gray = space
Blue = natural reach
Green = with reach weapon
