I’m sure the average Giff is taller and heavier than the average human, but how tall and heavy the average Giff is no longer has any pretense of affecting how tall or heavy your Giff character can be, by exactly the same logic that says, sure, Giff are typically stronger and tougher than humans but your Giff character doesn’t have to be. You can be as tall, short, heavy, or light as you want to be, within a roughly human-ish range (which remember, can be nearly 9 feet tall in real life!), just like you can put your ability score increases wherever you want.I don’t think that’s true. Have we seen any small-only races formatted this way yet? I expect they would include in the description that they don’t typically grow to more than XYZ feet tall, just like they included the age thing in the elf description.They literally do. They say to pick a row from the random height and weight table in the PHB that best describes the body type you imagine for your character.</blockquote>
