Since large monsters are mixed in with small monsters now, I got to thinking about how targeting some of them with area abilities would work.
Since large monsters take up 4 tiles, and using something like a fire or lit area attack only strike in lines, it's easily possible for a spell to rip right though one of them without taking damage at all. My idea is that such spells (and the knight equivelent, of course) would strike a large monster if it hit any corner of their body, instead of just the bottom left. Given that they're larger and take up more space, it'd stand to reason that they'd be easier to hit anyway.
Spells would NOT do extra damage by hitting them twice, though. If a large monster had two tiles struck at once, he'd still take the regular single area damage like any tiny monster would.
Focusing on a large monster as the center of an area attack would still use his bottom left corner as an anchor just like before, though. What do you guys think?

I guess that'd figure out.
