I wonder if SIZ as area follows a different progression?

THe progesion throughout most of the SIZ charts in RQ3 stuff was x2 mass = +8- SIZ. It doesn't hold up for very small SIZes (below 8) or above 100, but works fine for 99% of what we use SIZ for. I used to find that helpful for handing Resistance Table rolls when mutiple characters contributed to a task.
As for mounts in RQ, few player actually seemed to bother getting their ride skill high enough so that they could use the mounts. The few who did, went out of thier way to armor up or protect thier mount somehow. One Rune Lord had his allied spirirt in his mount, and it usually came out of fights better off than the PCs. Few things are nastier in RQ that a big creature that gets it's combat skills up over 50%. A few points of Ironhoof can catch people by surprise.
