How tall without being a giant?

[scary harpy]

How tall can a humanoid or monstrous humanoid be without being a giant?

Hill Giants are 10 ft tall...so 9 ft tall?

Thanks.

The maximum base height for a male orc is 7'1". I don't know of a humanoid that is larger than an orc (other than giants).

The tallest human on record was one inch below 9 feet tall, but he was barely able to stand, and required leg braces to walk.

His shoe size was 37AA.

in 2e the max was 7.5 ft
I don't know about any others

The height range for size Medium bipeds is 4 to 8 feet. The maximum height for half-giants in the d20 SRD is 8'4". I think Goliaths are about the same size as half-giants.

So about 8'; perfect!

Thanks everyone!

Its all a matter of perspective ain't it?

Well, there is large, then there is large long, and then there is large tall... From there, I would say that 7-9 ft is medium tall while a dwarf is medium short at 4ft. Combat bonuses? Not so much, unless you wanted to have a feat chain or background feat the grants reach (m tall), or bonuses to stealth and acrobatics (m short). Evolve the chain to grant the bonuses of the next size cat (up or down) without the penalties.

I've always understood Large size to start at 8 feet.

The PFSRD has a graphic that is loosely based on the rules of previous editions.

Now the question i have to the OP is, are you asking how tall the tallest humanoids are that don't have the giant subtype or are you asking for the maximum height (in feet) you can have before you should count as large?

Humanoid(giant) is a creature type. You can have colosal creatures witout them being (giant). Just as humanoid (dwarf) or (elf) is about heritage, so is (giant). There is monstrous humanoids in most sizes i think.

So in short. As big as you want them:)
Edit: fr spelling and ease of reading.

If a mutant elf is large size, NPCs will start calling them a pointy eared oger. If huge, (kicks in at 10th level) they are referred to as a giant elf. When they reach 20th level, they become THE gargantuan elf. Possibly they gain the repression ability at 5th level letting them shrink to normal size (for a nat.) but they have to make a will save to stay small in combat. "Maybe we should move this combat to the cavern."
