(Base 4 feet 5 inches + 2d10.)This distribution covers both the D&D traditions where the Drow is as short as 4 feet 7 inches, and the D&D traditions where Drow are as tall as 6 feet.Because of the small difference in female and male height on average, both genders can include individuals who reach 6 feet tall.Finally, this average height of 5 feet 4 inches squeezes in within the voting option that receives the majority of votes: 4½ to 5½.In sum, the following height and formula cover the entire spectrum of D&D traditions comprehensively, and represents well the desires of the voters.Drow Average Height: 5 feet 4 inchesRange: 4 feet 7 inches to 6 feet 1 inchDrow Random Height: Base height 4 feet 5 inches + 2d10 inchesFemale: +1 inchMale: −1 inchBelow is the determination of average height from the most recent poll results, followed by one from the earlier results for comparison. In both cases, the average Drow height is 64 inches, equivalent to 5 feet 4 inches. (164 cm.)Average height of Drow= [(5 feet × 21 votes) + (6 feet × 11 votes)] ÷ 32 votes= [(60 inches × 21 votes) + (72 inches × 11 votes)] ÷ 32 votes= [(1260 inches × votes) + (792 inches × votes)] ÷ 32 votes= [2052 inches × votes] ÷ 32 votes= 64.125 inches≈ 64 inches≈ 5 feet 4 inches≈ 164 cm</blockquote>
