This is bigoted because it denies the existence of 3'10" midgets, I demand you have a random height roll that involves rolling a minimum of twenty-three dice. If you do not do this then you are literally advocating eugenics.

Is there a reason small humans are stronger than medium humans?

When your face is about equal to most folks groins or bellies, you gotta compensate in some way.
Would 'pygmy' work any better? I know it's also fairly charged, but it also was used in ancient Greek mythology too... 'Little People' is usually what fey tend to be called.

"Vertically-challenged human"
"Small-sized human" is the term I used and felt it was pretty accurate. I still fail to understand why they are proportionally physically stronger than medium sized humans and also get a +2 bonus to an ability score of their choice. Seems to me that they should get a strength penalty as is customary for smaller creatures (such as gnomes, halflings, goblins, and so forth). Consistency is kind of important to me (I'm a bit of a simulationist).
Or... you could call them Nelwyn.
Actually, Midget is the Technical term for any Humanoid under 4 feet...
Dwarf is the term for any humanoid between 4'1" and 4'7".
Strange, No?
I want to play one as well.
Am I the only one that tilts his head and goes 'They're still human. Not an entirely new race' ??
To imply other wise is pretty insulting. It's like saying "White people are a different race from Asians or Hispanics" ect.
We are talking about a fantasy game, no need to get insulted, PJ.
