So I have grown to dislike the standard Fine, Diminutive, Tiny, Small, Medium, Large, Huge, Gargantuan, and Colossal setup because it seems far to broad in most places so I have written up a new and more unnecessarily complicated chart for all the possible size categories.
Infinitesimal - Atomic level
Imperceivable - Bacterium or microbot size
Granular - The size of a grain of sand
Fine - the size of the tip of a pen
Minute - the size of a lego person's head
Lilliputian - the size of a match stick
Minuscule - the size of a normal index finger
Teeny - the size of a normal hand
Tiny - around the size of a normal cat
Little - about as big as a basset hound or spanial
Small - a halfling or gnome
Bantam - dwarf size things
Medium - average adult humans
Sizable - for those races that are bigger than medium but not THAT big like neanderthal, Goliath, and half-giants
Large - the size of a horse or hill giant (2 squares on a battle mat)
Immense - giants and other hulking creatures that can occupy 2-4 spaces (one tangent on this... this was one of the reasons I did this a horse and a fire giant are the same size category but adult horses range from 800 to 2000 pounds and the average fire giant is listed as weighting around 7000 pounds and being roughly 9 feet in girth)
Massive- the size of a larger giant (like storm giants) or an elephant
Huge - around the size of a T-rex
Tremendous - a purple worm
Gargantuan - a good sized sailing ship
Monumental - around the size of a duplex
Titanic - a Great Wyrm
Colossal - the tarrasque
Epic -http://cromoart.de/wordpress/wp-content/uploads//2012/02/resting_giant_by_merl1ncz-d424veo.jpg
Astronomical - a turtle with a small country on its back
Wumbo - its first grade sponge-bob
Planetary - the size of a non gaseous planet
Vast - the size of a solar system
Galactic - The size of a galaxy
Immeasurable - beings that are so big they could count as planes of existence (looking at you movie dormammu)
To explain more, this started when I was cutting out cardboard for tokens and I realized how varied the sizes were for creatures that belonged in the same size categories (Such as the horse and fire giant) or (the cloud giants and titans), these also have some variety in size but not nearly as much as before, anyway these categories are more for the GM than the players and I find it useful for tokens as well as understanding how a monster would move as well as facing, sweeping range, and other seemingly unnecessary detail most people wouldn't care about but still... here it is
