Size

Character Size information is developed AFTER you have chosen all the character traits and attributes.
The system outlined below is designed to reflect setting concepts of proportion of height and weight, and may not produce medically 'perfect' values like those that various insurance companies etc. rely on.

Height

There are four height ranges, determined by trait. A Diminutive character must be between 6" and 3' and is normally of Mystic Heritage or otherwise influenced to such unsual proportions. A Petite character is between 3' to 5' of height. An Average height character is between 5'1 and 6'4. A Statuesque character is between 6'5 to 8' (and often of Mystic Heritage).

Generally players can choose the height of their character as they desire within the above range based on their height related traits (if any, otherwise they should be in the Average range).

Weight

Convert their Height to inches (so, for example, 5'9 becomes 69 inches). This becomes the Baseline for determining their weight.

Take the character's Fitness. Add this to their Baseline. Then look over their traits and adjust
as per this list:

If the character has the trait Brutish then add 2 to the Baseline.
If the character has the trait Fat then add add 16 to the Baseline.
If the character has the trait Fluid Grace then add 2 to the Baseline.
If the character has the trait Hard To Kill then add 2 to the Baseline.
If the character has the trait Loathsome then add 4 to the Baseline.
If the character has the trait Middle Aged then add 4 to the Baseline.
If the character has the trait Natural Major Armor then add 4 to the Baseline.
If the character has the trait Natural Minor Armor then add 2 to the Baseline.
If the character has the trait Natural Severe Armor then add 6 to the Baseline.
If the character has the trait Obese then add 24 to the Baseline.
If the character has the trait Overweight then add 8 to the Baseline.
If the character has the trait Sinks Like A Stone then add 6 to the Baseline.
If the character has the trait Strong Back then add 4 to the Baseline.
