Equipment Size

The size of a piece of equipment is determined slightly differently for equipment, weapons, and armor.

Equipment

Unless otherwise noted, the size of a piece of equipment is determined by its listed weight (see table below) . If no size or weight is listed, treat it as Diminutive (about the same as a blaster pistol or medpac) for purposes of the upgrade rules.

Weapons

Weapon size represents how bulky it is compared to other weapons, so their listed sizes represent how big a character must be to use them in one hand. Weapons are the size of a creature two categories smaller (see table below. Thus a blaster pistol, a Small weapon, is about the same size as a Diminutive creature.

Armor

Armor is the same size as the creature it is designed to protect. For example, armor built for an Ewok is Small, but stormtrooper armor--always built for a Human--is Medium.
