Halfling and Gnome height


Races & Classes

Liberty's Edge

Ok, this is the ONE thing I liked from 4E that I can name off hand. They made halflings and gnomes taller. Not much taller (from what I understand like 10-12 yr olds or jockeys). But at least they aren't 5 year olds anymore.

I've always thought that the span for Medium (4'-8') was waaay too large and should be more like 5'-8' if not 5'-7'.

This would be a welcome change for the Pathfinder world imho.

Easy enough chance to make in your own world, just adjust the base height. Elves in my world are taller...MUCH taller. And humans are fatter...Oh wait...thats based on real life...

Uugh this is one of those things I hate most about 4th. Its all about scale and realitive size. It is a fantasy world, that to me definatly adds to it. Now I will say that I like Halflings more of the old school pudgy little guys.

But like its been said its no problem to change it in your specific campaign.

Pfft 5 year olds.....with swords! :P

Edit I have no idea how to just link this so heres the link :
