Hm, maybe I can use chimps as a model for goblins; they're small but

BRP book have STR stats that are pretty close to their SIZ stats. I would have
thought STR would remain pretty much the same for all creatures and it's SIZ
that changes the most.

... 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,...
