Height and Weight
While an individual's height and weight varies greatly from person to person, the heritage of that individual has an outsized impact on where exactly they will fall. This page contains the range of heights and weights within which the vast majority of people will fall based on their race. It also provides a means of randomly determining these statistics if so desired, though players are always welcome to pick any height and weight within the standard range of their character's race as they please (heights and weights outside these ranges are subject to DM approval).
To randomly determine a character's base height, take the base height for the chosen race and gender, and roll the modifier, adding the result in inches to the character's base height. To randomly determine weight, take the base weight for the race and gender, and either roll the modifier again, or take the previously rolled modifier, multiplying the result by the weight multiplier before adding it to the character's base weight.
