			In the ''Mage Wars'' RPG, menhirs come in fixed sizes:

			* Colossal: larger than two elephants. Serve as landmarks; can mark any site of importance; sometimes engraved with secret messages, which refer to the fictional 'history' of the site, and serve as clues to the fulfillment of a given quest.

			* Miniature: vary from Small size, down to pocket-sized. These can be put to most uses: PCs can mark trails with them; hurl them; leave messages with them (for other characters); use them as Focus Items; magically turn them into weapons, tools, or money, and back (which is a clever way of cheating enemies who ask for a bribe); etc. Obscene messages and indecent uses are strictly forbidden.
