Height/Weight Ranges - 02/01/21 04:34 PM
Traditionally, members of races are not of uniform size, being given a range of heights and weights based on their race and sex.
So, for example, a human male can be between 5' and 6'6" while a human woman is between 4'7" and 6'1". Elven men and women are both between 4'7" and 5'5" Even tiny halflings are between 2'10 and 3'4 and between 2'8" and 3'2" respectively. It would be nice to put some scaling in model sizes to account for this - possibly accounting for different body shapes as well.
