'''Height''' is measured in feet and inches.  This describes the distance between the ball of the foot to the top of the character's head, when the individual is standing erect.  This is a factor in the character's reach, as well as the character's ability to employ certain weapons.  The practical length of a [[Pike (weapon)|pike]], for instance, is three times the character's height.  A [[Pole-arm (weapon)|pole-arm]], [[Spear (weapon)|spear]] or [[Javelin (weapon)|javelin]] can be up to 1½ times a person's height.  Most other weapons cannot be longer than a character is tall.

The tables shown provide heights and weights for both males and females of the seven races available to player characters. The bell curve of rolled 4d6 ensures that most heights and weights fall into a common range. The character generator rolls these results automatically, but the tables are still available of quick use or for non-player characters.

+
The heights and weights obtained from these tables are subject to alteration by other rolls produced elsewhere in the Generator. Thus, the above should be viewed as ''base numbers'' only.  Weight has a higher likelihood of being altered than does height, due to [[Addiction (malady)|addiction]], [[Gluttony|gluttony]], the qualities of being robust ... or if the character has wasted away due to a hard life.  Otherwise, if not altered, the numbers describe the character in the peak of condition.
  
−
Height is a factor in the character’s reach, as well as the character’s ability to employ weapons of certain lengths. Typically, a character’s height allows a pike up to 3 times as long as the character is tall; a pole-arm, [[Spear (weapon)|spear]] or [[Javelin (weapon)|javelin]] up to 1½ times; and any other weapon of equal length to the character’s height.
+
During play, participants tend to skip over height and weight in their imaginations.  While understandable, as getting past our self-perception and those of the other players can be a stretch, the DM should counsel the players towards truly embracing the character's real semblance. Artworks can help, if any player has that talent, as can repeating the character's gender and size as often as possible, until it's clear everyone around the table – including the DM – has a firm image of how the party looks to others.
  
−
Weight describes the character’s mass in pounds. By and large, this always describes the character in the peak of condition, except where specified otherwise by the [[Character Background Generator|character background generator]]. Extra weight, if it exists, may be lost according to rules associated with kicking an [[Addiction (malady)|addiction]], but the weight loss will have no special effect upon the character’s strength or constitution [at this time, as rules for this do not exist].

Height-weight-01.jpg

Part of the character’s creation requires a determination of how tall the character stands and the character’s weight. This describes the distance between the ball of the foot to the top of the head, when the character is standing erect.

Weight describes the character's mass in imperial pound units. Metric is not used because it's a late 18th-century creation ... and therefore anachronistic to the context of a Medieval or Renaissance fantasy realm. Yes, other anachronistic things are embraced by the Generator, but it's believed that understanding the unpleasantnesxs of using imperial units can act to help player's understand the mindset of people in the game setting. Imagine what it must have been like for people long ago, who had no choice in how to measure things.

Height is measured in feet and inches. This describes the distance between the ball of the foot to the top of the character's head, when the individual is standing erect. This is a factor in the character's reach, as well as the character's ability to employ certain weapons. The practical length of a pike, for instance, is three times the character's height. A pole-arm, spear or javelin can be up to 1½ times a person's height. Most other weapons cannot be longer than a character is tall.

The tables shown provide heights and weights for both males and females of the seven races available to player characters. The bell curve of rolled 4d6 ensures that most heights and weights fall into a common range. The character generator rolls these results automatically, but the tables are still available of quick use or for non-player characters.

The heights and weights obtained from these tables are subject to alteration by other rolls produced elsewhere in the Generator. Thus, the above should be viewed as base numbers only. Weight has a higher likelihood of being altered than does height, due to addiction, gluttony, the qualities of being robust ... or if the character has wasted away due to a hard life. Otherwise, if not altered, the numbers describe the character in the peak of condition.

During play, participants tend to skip over height and weight in their imaginations. While understandable, as getting past our self-perception and those of the other players can be a stretch, the DM should counsel the players towards truly embracing the character's real semblance. Artworks can help, if any player has that talent, as can repeating the character's gender and size as often as possible, until it's clear everyone around the table – including the DM – has a firm image of how the party looks to others.
