In the Core Rule Book there is this very well done chart.

It would be awesome if you guys at Piazo would make one with all the other races too - there's been a lot added and it would be very cool to see one for them too!


I agree with this idea.


Would be an interesting way of doing things.


They should have done that in the ARG.

I suppose someone could make this himself, with some cut & paste work.

Please Paizo pleeeease. *gets on hands and knees*


The problem with doing a new race chart is the sheer number of races outside of the Core 7 races. Excluding subtypes and racial variants, my last count for all the races was up to 41+. Think of how many pages the foldout would have to be to have them all lined up together with a decent amount of detail.

This.

It'd be far LESS expensive to take the various body shots we've done of all those races and resize them on a file in front of a police lineup type thing, though... but kinda tough to figure out where and why we'd do this. It'd be a not-insignificant usage of art staff resources. Which makes it a great choice for a fan project, since heights for all those races are out there...

Do it as a GM screen and sell it that way? Then, it would have more usage and you would increase the number of GM screens for people to buy.

I think multiple pictures aren't out of the question. Just make each one have 5 or 6 of them. Spread them around one of the new books.

Another problem is that there are few pieces of artwork that depict characters in police lineup form. Its usually a dynamic action piece because artwork that depicts movement is a billion times more interesting to look at then a picture of a naked character flexing a little bit.

Hence why that artwork only exists for the core races.

Like the poster of Usual Suspects starring all the new iconics?

I don't think there are tables long enough for the length of GM screens that are needed. Nor could I possibly think of a GM screen that I'd be even less likely to buy, given how much it would have to cost, and quite frankly how ugly it would be.


Well, now I know it's a good idea ;)

Oh, admit it. You just want to see hobgoblins in their undergarments. : D

Who doesn't?

I must admit that I have no desire to see hobgoblins in their underwear.

Not that there's anything wrong with that. ;)

Now, Kitsune or Vishkanya on the other hand...

You and YellowDingo then can get together and form a Kickstarter.

Three foot tall John Waters in his underwear. That's how this story ends if wayangs make it in.

After a quick google search of John Waters I've decided to redact my previous joke for fear of this obviously alien "life"-form actually Showing up.

I'm not the one who needs to team with YellowDingo, given the conversation going on :D

Found this one as well, not sure where it's from.


I'd love to see a Guardians of the Galaxy-style mugshot picture of the various races. Complete with height markers. lol

Looks like the artwork from the original RotRL books.


You know we need to get them some cybernetics and black clothes, right?
