SIZE TABLE
AVERAGE HEIGHT             SIZE FACTOR
< 1 foot                                   0
1 foot - 4 feet                           1
4 feet to 7 feet                         2
7 feet to 10 feet                       3
10 feet to 13 feet                     4
13 feet to 16 feet                     5
16 feet to 19 feet                     6
19 feet to 22 feet                     7
22 feet to 25 feet                     8
+ 3 feet                                  +1
The factor is based on height or length/2 (RU), whichever results in the 
HIGHEST factor value. This allows for a better rating for immense serpents 
and such. In example, a 30 foot serpent is only a few feet at the shoulder 
but is massive. Its Size factor would be based on 30/2 = 15 for a value of 
5.
