![]() ![]() I dont know where the idea for a 19 str came from. I did not like this as much because unlike 1st edition it did not give percentages that a HO was the average OR plus or minus above/below average. HO male/female averages 60"/58" could range past this 1-12" WeightsM/F:135lbs/95lbs with a variable of 6-60lbs. There were percentage roles to give an average or plus or minus numbersĢnd edition (complete book of humanoids) 2nd edition had dropped the half orc from the players handbook and only added it afterward in this supplement book. HO females 62" +or- 1-3" Weight 120lbs minus 2-16lbs or plus 4-32lbs HO male 66" + or- 1-4" Weight 150lbs minus 2-16lbsor plus 4-40lbs You wouldn't happen to have a link anywhere would you? I'd love to fix that.ģ.5 made gnomes and halflings much smaller and half-orcs much bigger than in 2nd. I didn't have anything for them other than a brief mention in the Monstrous Manual. I am guessing that is where the 19 str comes from as well as they were limited to like 18/99 or something, even though they got +1 str and con(which could go to 19). I never got into anything past 2nd edition but it seems like after those two editions half orcs started to evolve into something more like a friggin half -ogre brute or something, with much more orcish like features. For Baldur's Gate where I'm assuming everyone has STR and CON above average I used an average of the average and maximum heights for each race, which is why the halflings ended up taller.īut when you mentioned it I noticed that for the female gnomes I accidentally put the height for the male gnomes, so my female gnome actually needs to be 2 inches shorter that she was, but the picture looks fine as it is and if I make her too short for her weight she starts to look really ridiculous (assuming height x width = weight), so I'll just leave it.ġst ed AD&D and 2nd edition (complete book of humanoids) always put half orcs as a little shorter than humans on average(a little less weight as well.) An average of about 5'6" for males and weight about a buck 50. So gnomes do have a slightly higher average than halflings, but halflings have a higher max (and lower minimum) height. ![]() ![]() That's true in 3.5 (looking in the player handbook), but in the AD&D 2nd Edition Player's Handbook (which is where all these numbers are from) the rolls are as follows: With the exception of Forest Gnomes, in the Realms, Gnomes are taller than Halflings of all stripes, though not by much. Photos used without Howard Schwatz's permission, but I linked to both his website and his book on amazon so hopefully that makes up for it. Half-Elf: Bob Kennedy- long distance running Pictures have been modified if I couldn't find anyone the right size (for example the athletes representing halflings, dwarves, and gnomes are all taller and some are thinner as well). In some cases I could not find any picture that really matched so I just picked the best one. So using those, and pictures from Athlete by Howard Schatz I tried to find pictures of various athletes with a similar body-mass index to each character and then made some of the pictures bigger and smaller as necessary. ![]() So using the 2nd Edition player's handbook's dice rolls for height and weight I created the following.įirst here's the heights and weights for a PC, assuming their height and weight is average for their race (using the Player's Handbook for all the races except Drow and Half-Orc which I got from the Monstrous Manual and the Book of Humanoids). I'm helping to work on a mod and I wanted to know what the relative sizes of the races were so that we could know for our writing. ![]()
