Proper Heights

I put Joli as around 3' 6" when she was a furrikin. Now that she is a tainted furrikin she is around 5 feet tall. Tainted = bigger than normal. Most Shadow Fae are a bit bigger than normal faelings too.

Don't pick a freaking small race if you don't plan on roleplaying it. ranting.gif

... oh my god.

Jacquin is around 5' 4", and the maximum hight of Lyco is THREE FEET!?

...Well.. it'll work, but I'm investing in diminish and enlarge rings.

I think I'll start a new add campaign: "Diminish and Enlarge: We make relationships work."

When I first created Peeka, I kind of imagined her as a little fairy thing, and wrote her desc as being only 5 or 6 inches tall. Then after I explored and saw NPC faelings as being 3 feet or so high, I wasn't sure what to do, so I boosted her up to 12 inches, which is as far as I think I could grow her without looking really odd. She is a but small though, so I added that she's 'short for her race' in her description. At this point I'm not really sure if I should leave her as is, or if there's some way to make her grow that would be plausable, as she's 27 now and past the normal growing stage...

Since Faelings are descended from Fae, and Fae come in lots of different sizes and shapes, I think you can get away with being smaller than most.
Leonias2005-12-28 06:37:03
At size 15 I boast Leonias to stand at seven and a half. Which fits in accord with Diamondais' calculations there..I'd agree with her.

Hiding from novices, writing up guild files, writing up books to be sent out, speaking to said novices I failed to hide from, trying to figure out who to speak to to get X thing done beacuse Y person decided to dissapear for Z amount of time, praying for the villages to hold from revolting one more day(OOCly I can't wait for another revolt. IC is another matter) so I have time to do the above and train myself and earn gold for my poor decaying equipment and take care of a mixed up family to boot.

Oh yes.. it sure is unsuitible for children up in the Backshaking, Wild Commandant's office. meh.gif


I love my :censor:kicking shadowling though. wub.gif
Xenthos2005-12-28 06:47:26
I operate on the 1-size=6-inches theory, too, meaning Xen hovers at around three feet tall. He doesn't really do enlarge/diminish much, though, sorta likes his height as-is.

And all those poor normal faelings feel insignificant when they flutter past! Rar! *coughs*

You realize mine and Estarra's calculations were the pretty much same only worded different? A foot is 12 inches. Though, her way gives a bit more accuracy.

Shadowlord faeling ~= 3'. Enlarged shadowlord faeling ~= 4'5. Human ~= 6'. Diminished human ~= 4'5. But remember that these are just estimates. And it's actually only a problem when the genders are reversed tongue.gif :duck:
Serrin2005-12-28 11:07:54
When I reach Titan I'm going to be 1 inch tall but weigh 500 lbs!
Leonias2005-12-28 11:19:25
When I'm a titan I'm going to be like the hulk, except Lion-ized.
Laysus2005-12-28 13:15:04
I've always gone by the 6" per 1 size point, hence my habit of diminishing Laysus and going around being 6" tall.

Although I have seen someone's description making them a human-sized faeling. *coughmarinacough*. Which would need 2-3 enlarges to work >.>

1 - YAY! That means I'll have a husband that's taller than me..at least so long as I enlarge him every time we meet (and I'm up for that).

2 - Get yo' mind out da gutta.

C'mon, you've met me IC! Where else would it be?
Kiarlea2005-12-28 18:01:22
Kia's a little under two feet. Klia's well over nine feet. How's -that- for a relationship? Even diminish and enlarge only make Kia a little under three and a half feet, and Klia a little over seven and a half. tongue.gif

Perhaps they can add the current size as part of the description:

He is a human, almost 6 feet tall, and .

It would be nice to look and somebody, see how tall they are, and if they are enlarged or diminished.

What, are all humans 6 feet tall? Normal people can go anywhere from 1.40 metres to 2.10 metres. It's reasonable to assume that other races would vary just as much, specially races that aren't very uniform like Viscanti and Faeling.
