I'm working on a number of fantasy races for a homebrewed world and I'm running into problems with the larger races. Is there a book, supplement, Pyramid magazine, etc., that helps with figuring out how many hexes a particular SM creature should be, as well as it's weight, appropriate ST range, and such?
For example, if I have a 30 ft. giant how big around would he be, in other words, how many hexes should he fill? For a giant like this its height and SM are easy to figure out, but I don't know how much a humanoid of that size should weigh or how much ST it would need.
Another example that's probably giving me even more trouble is non-humanoid creatures, such as dragons. Since they don't stand upright like humans, their SM doesn't even translate into a specific height. I plan on having dragons that range all the way from SM -1 to SM +3 or maybe even +4.
Additionally, I have creatures that aren't flesh and blood, such as golems. Is there anywhere that says how much a stone man (or one made of wood) would weigh?
On a related note, can anyone tell me why lions/tigers are SM +1 creatures even though they are only ~6 ft. long? From what I understand of the SM rules that should only be SM 0.

SM and weight, hexes, etc.
