I usually do the 2:3 (rise:run) ratio stairs. They're more compact and not too steep.

I have to roll my eyes at all the grid comments. The grid is variable. You can change it for a reason: some parts of a map are easier done on a different size.

how can they end up looking tiny?? if they do it's because you've picked a bad multiple to work with. 2:3 fits nicely into 8:12 which is probably the biggest you wan't steps to be.

I like stairs that look like a human foot could fit on a single step.
