[QUOTE="Kerrick, post: 4983024, member: 4722"] Don't shoot the messenger - I'm just pointing out what UK came up with. When I converted everything to ECLs, I came up with ECL 13, which is around CR 8-9 (I think I did that right; I can never remember if ECL = 2/3 CR or the other way around). Whales don't have tails to speak of; they have flukes, which are maybe 10-15 feet long (and their primary weapon). "Up to" 100 feet isn't very indicative of average length, but I'd put it around 80-90 feet, or 75 (average) without the flukes - still firmly in the Colossal category. Picking HD is really a matter of what you (the designer) feel is "right". I go by its relative size in the category - since it's closer to 64 than 128, I'd give it around 20-25. Yeah. UK didn't have my creation system either. :) Extrapolating (again), I'd put Godzilla at around 130 HD (I'd treat it as semi-natural, since it's a product of radiation, not natural evolution). I forgot Macro-Dim was larger than Macro-Fine (shame on me), so extrapolating (again), I'd say it's also around 130 HD, depending on its size (the range for that size is 96-216). [/QUOTE]
