You can clearly see a winged tiny creature (sprite or pixie) as being 2 feet tall from the tip of the toe to the tip of the wing.

I've always thought of Sprites are about 8" to 2' tall (I've seen similar numbers in homebrew Sprite PC Races) There is a diagram on page 248 of the DMG that shows the realative size. We can just divide the measurements from above by 3, giving us something like 10" x 2" x 2".įor creatures under a foot in size, it's plausible that they could slip beneath the gaps in rougher-hewn doorways. Let's round that to a friendly 10" tall because it it works nicely with numbers and keeps us from doing unnecessary math. did mention that sprites are about 8" tall - this gives us new numbers. It seems clear that we're not squashing a tiny humanoid that's 30" tall through a 2" crack. However, these give us a good idea of what order of magnitude we're working with - the imp may vary by something like 25% in any of these measurements. We may also be off by an inch here or there.Įven more significant - these are based off the measurements of a tiny man. These measurements are rough - a tiny creature could contort or deform itself (much like spelunkers) to get through narrower gaps than this would suggest. There are some limitations to this model - imps aren't tiny men, and some measurements may vary. In short, This means we can visualize our tiny man as a box, about 30" x 6" x 6", although it's technically more of a diamond shape. At a ratio of 612:378 torso:breadth, we get a rough, but workable, 6". Let's say that the torso length is about 1/3 the height of the humanoid, so about 10". What we can do is estimate the length of the torso, based on height then compare the torso height to the broadness. Unfortunately, they change around units here - we can't directly correlate height to broadness. Using that as our ratio gives us something more like 5.4", which seems closer.Īdditionally, we can run a similar ratio to try and determine how broad-shouldered our tiny man is. Measuring in GIMP gives something more like 162:29.
Honestly, however, the ratio in the image seems off.
Applying this to our 30" height, we get something around 9". The main thing to note is that the ratio of height to chest depth is 805:236. Unfortunately this only uses generic 'units', but it's enough to go off of. This will define the high end of the scale - we may have smaller creatures that will fall significantly below this.īased off of this image from NASA, we can get a rough idea of human proportions. That's a pretty decent idea of how tall our tiny man stands. That is to say, the widest you can stretch your arms is about equivalent to your height.Ģ.5' wide is 30", or about 75cm for our metric friends. It seems safe to assume that this is pretty closely related to 'wingspan', which is usually about equal to the height of a humanoid. As Medium, they control 5' of space around them. Specifically, many Medium creatures stand between about 4' and 6' tall. With that in mind, it's unlikely that a tiny familiar could slip under doors or through cracks in window frames. PHB page 191 lists the the size categories, in terms of area controlled in combat, given in feet:
