Age, weight, and height?


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


Is there any charts or tables to determine age, weight, and height for all creatures throughout the bestiaries?


ALL creatures? Methinks no.

If you mean just the character ones, then you might have to delve back to 3 and 3.5 or so. None in PF I know of.


Just the playable core races: http://www.d20pfsrd.com/alignment-description/description

I guess there might be some for playable non-core races too, but thats probably in their entry.

Most of them are demihumans (not all, but most). I would use the human line for races that are roughly the size of a human (dhampir and ifrit, for example), half-elf for lighter than human (sylph), and half-orc for heavier (earth / water half elementals).

Or you could make your own if you want to; this would be the kind of stuff I'd expect to see if the upcoming Advanced Race Guide, however.

I would like to see if there is a chart or table in the referance to the offical PF or some that can be offical. Not just to the base core races but, beyon with other outside Creating other races thoughout each races in the Bestiaries Books.
Like:
Aasimar, Elemental types, Mephit, Angel, Archon hound, Boggard, Bugbear, Centaur, Cyclops, Dark Creeper, Dark Stalker, Succubus, Devil types, Demon types, Doppelganger, Drows, Dryad, Duergar, Ettin, Genie Types, Giant Types, Gnoll, Goblins, Hobgoblin, Kobolds, Lizardfolk, Merfolk, Minotaur, Mite, Morlock, Nymph, Ogre, Pixie, Rakshasa, Satyr, Svirfneblin, Tengu, Tiefling, Troglodyte, Vegepygmy, Trolls, Yeti, and many others.

Thanks

I don't think so, cause no other company out there has ever touch this subject even as far back TSR time frame. I will be shock to see if they ever do.


Piggybacking on this rather than starting a thread, does heigh and weight and all that matter in Jump based Acrobatics checks, or is it purely size based? Because If I wanted to jump up to a 10' roof, it would be much easier if I were 6'5" instead of 5'4", in theory.

Doesn't matter whatsoever. You have to succeed at a DC 40 acrobatics check.

How about age, sex, and location?

I think you mean no RPG company should be touching this. Rolling to see how tall your character is or how heavy he is may be fun for you but, in no way, should the company allude to such rolls being customary, expected, or essential.

but what about jumping up and grabbing onto the edge of the roof then using climb to pull yourself up?

Thanks

personally i'd just the the elf stats for a drow as they are so closely related anyway


"but what about jumping up and grabbing onto the edge of the roof then using climb to pull yourself up?"

thats what im wondering.

Silver Crusade

I suspect this will all be in the Advanced Race Guide.

Probably the best bet is to assume human style aging is the standard unless the race in question is an offshoot of a Core Rulebook race (e.g. Drow, Svirfneblin, Duergar etc.)

For a vertical jump, the result of the check is the distance your feet lift off the ground. It's reasonable to assume that a 7' half orc has an easier time touching the 10' ceiling (assuming he had to jump at all :p), than a 2' halfling does. But if they have to jump over an obstacle, the DC would be the same for both (they'd both have to clear the same height to successfully complete the jump).
