Message: <blockquote data-quote="Khaalis" data-source="post: 4354802" data-attributes="member: 2167">Yes as a former athlete, I know this.  However to get a comparison, a tiny list of pro athlete stats...* Julius Peppers (Defensive End) = 6'7" & 283 lb* Champ Baily (Cornerback) = 6' & 196 lb* Brian Urlacher (Linebacker) = 6'4" & 258 lb* Randy Couture (UFC Heavyweight Champion) = 6'2" & 220 lbThese 4 guys average out to 3.165 lb. per inch of height (or 227 lb at 6'). If we assume risar have the same build as humans that would put then at a range of:8’ 6” = 323 lb.10’ 6” = 399 lb(My original post was 320 - 440)Now I'm not a physicist, so I don't know the calculations for the inverse square law, however, looking at some real life examples...* Robert Pershing Wadlow (tallest man recorded) = 8'11" & 490 lb at his heaviest* Leonid Stadnyk (tallest living man) = 8'6" & 440 lbThis would indicate that the height to weight ratio does increase (4.31 lb per 1" for Leonid and 4.58 lb per 1" for Robert). That's about a .05 change per 1" increase. Granted we don't know what their BMI status is but its a place to start.Using these numbers we would get:8’ 6” = 440 lb8'11" (@ 4.55lb/1") = 488 lb  (pretty close to Robert's actual 490)so using the same increase of 0.05 per inch ... 10’ 6” (@ 5.51lb/1") = 695 lbSince riasr are somewhat more stocky and heavily muscled than humans, it would look like the risar need to be 525-840 lb. (assuming 20% more mass than a human).Does that sound about right?</blockquote>
