[QUOTE="Cadence, post: 8517143, member: 6701124"] I had no solid idea what the heights and weights should be if similar to IRL, so went scouting around. Average D&D Dwarf is 4'6" and 150 lbs. BMI has lots of well-documented flaws, but should give some idea. 5'2" and 150 lbs is a BMI of 27.4 <- Photo 4'6" and 150 lbs is a BMI of 36.2 <- Avg D&D Dwarf A 36.2 BMI for someone who is 5'2" would be 198 pounds. For humans, 27.4 is the middle of the overweight range. One site has low-risk obesity as 30 to 34.9, moderately-risk obesity as 35 to 39.9, and high risk obesity as 40+. In 2003, the average BMI for American men was 26.6. In 2018 it was up to 29.1. Offensive linemen in the college have a mean BMI of 36 (range of 29-47). One study of pro and amateur sumo wrestlers found an average BMI of 36.5 for their sample. [/QUOTE]
