Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jfdlsjfd" data-source="post: 8476707" data-attributes="member: 42856">Height range for average humans tell a lot about the setting.I agree that i never heard that. However, the replacement is worse than removing reference altogether : "Also, rather than suggesting height and weight in a race, we provide the following text: “Player characters, regardless of race, typically fall into the same ranges of height and weight that humans have in our world."So, the iconic image of a tall and slim elf, a pair of slightly less-tall humans, a short and bulky dwarf and a handfull of small and not particularly heavy halflings is no longer a thing. Everyone is build within the much smaller range of humans. It is even more "rubberhead ear" than before. The "problem" it fixes is the complaint about "how can a 60 cm tall halfling have 16 STR when the 2m10 minotaur has the same starting STR? It's not realistic". The answer is: "because they have the same size and muscle/fat ratio. Your minotaur can't be taller than the halfling since both fluctuate within the same (modern Earth human) range". It's a logical consequence of floating ASIs, I'd guess.</blockquote>
