[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 8692839, member: 58172"] The threshold between Small and Medium is something like 4 feet. The threshold between Medium and Large is something like 8 feet. The threshold between Large and Huge is something like 16 feet. The rules of 5e tend to handwaive the specific heights, and refer more vaguely to how much space one occupies. The ballparks for the heights of various size categories show up indirectly in the descriptions of various bipedal races and monsters. Regarding reallife human ethnicities, for example, various ethnicities described as "pygmy" (from a Greek exonym) are significantly shorter than 5 feet, and because of height being a bellcurve, many individuals are less than 4 feet. In D&D terms, these adult humans are Small. Consider also, prehistoric humans such as Floresiensis, who are unambiguously in the Small category, in this case adapting to insular dwarfism. [/QUOTE]
