Subject: [Basic_Roleplaying] Relation between STR and SIZ?

Is there any relation between a creature's STR and it's SIZ? If I drop a creature's SIZ by 5 should I also drop it's STR by a similar amount? If larger creatures are supposed to have higher STR scores then isn't that pretty much the same as adding SIZ twice when figuring out a creature's DB? Maybe DB should just be determined by the creature's full STR value.

... That would be pretty cool :) ... Sure, but remember that the old BRP model was that 10 points mean a doubling in value. So whilst SIZ 20 is twice SIZ 10,...
