I'm 90% certain that being short/thin doesn't raise your agility.

I'm 90% certain that being short/thin doesn't raise your agility. I've created a character with warrior class (bonus to strength) medium age range (no bonus to agility) that prioritized strength, and ended up with higher agility than strength. The only thing I could think of that would have caused this was his small size. |

There's some degree of randomness.

From what I've read, being tall gives you a higher walking speed, and makes you much more likely to succeed... It's just like real life! |

You get 1 to strength and 1 to endurance or agility, one, with warrior, and -2 to wisdom.
Just because you have a higher agility in anecdotal scenario doesn't mean that height is what granted it.
By that logic, dwarves should move like halflings.

And elves should be slow, clumsy beefcakes.

It's really weight that gives you strength, irl. Height (a larger frame) just provides a basis for putting on more weight than you could otherwise. You can still be tall and agile, like those damn greenbean elves.

Yeah, I'm saying that the logic that being taller makes you stronger and shorter makes you more agile is flawed, and using the above for examples.  |

I haven't experimented with it in a while, but I know on four separate occasions I rolled minimum height/weight human warriors aged anywhere between 32~35 with str>agi>end>wis priorities and nailed "exceptional" on both strength and agility. Endurance usually landed around "very good" and "extremely good" with wisdom, being the dump stat it is, at poor.
But almost every other time I've tried it (I had a string of six or seven characters I tried this with after the first one), I hit poo stats, so I dunno. Maybe I was hitting the RNG jackpot.

Yarr. I thought the thread's kinda purpose was about game physics/the code/how height/weight affect pcs. IRL physics and the game's code are so different it's like comparing apples and hurricanes. heh.

make the occasional witty remark about how much sense it doesn't make, and periodically weigh in where I think it might help others. |

I can guarantee you one benefit to being short. Whenever you type to go in a direction, you will have a tiny percent of a second more time to type 'stop' and not go off that cliff. I think more Byn sergeants should be short. Just saying.
