[BUG] Small Hindrance adds -2 to NPC size

[Lonewolf]

Small Hindrance adds -2 to NPC size.

1. Create a new NPC
2. Add Small(minor)
3. place on CT

Note that Size reported on CT is now -2
Should be -1

The Hindrance works for PCs. Just NPC records being given wrong size.

That's because PCs are more important. Like in the ancient Egyptian paintings, the important people are always drawn larger. It's cinematic.

Thanks for posting. I'll look into that.

+ 1 to size also does not work in Brawny for NPCs

Overshadowed by bloody PC again! Soon their actors union will go on strike!

The issue comes from fact that "Small" means two things in SWADE. According to Size Table, "Small" has Size -2 while "Normal" size is between -1 and 3. When checking NPC size, if any size names match they will be used according to Size Table. It does not use Effect Framework to figure out actual number. Usually NPCs are meant to have "Size [+-] x" ability which declares specific size for them however older products did use terms like Small, Large etc. to determine the size before SWADE. I need to look if size logic could be made to use effect framework for NPCs but I can already see the code is told to ignore it.
