In RQ transformation magic did not alter the weight respectively size.
At first I found this ridiculous (Size 13 Dragons, how scaring ;-), but
it makes perfect sense from a point of game balance and physics (no
instant gain/loss of matter).
Has this changed with HeroWars-Rules?
When picking between a 70 kg bear and a light lancer, I would pick the
lancer ;-)
On the other hand, one should never underestimate surprise. But the same
conclusion can't be drawn, since a rider is far taller than a harp seal
and thus has a far better view of the surroundings. (Sorry for this
miserable English)

Very good job, I hope I won't ever meet a polar bear!
