== Finding Size In-game ==
 
Is there a menu I'm missing that lets you see the size of something? Is there any way to find size through their weight? [[User:Aussiemon|Aussiemon]] 15:50, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

I tested it myself. Size does not measure mass; it measures volume, for both creatures and items. You can trivially test this yourself by editing the densities of tissue materials, and noting that a creature's mass changes as well despite its size being identical.
