Tiefling

Very few places are safe for the poor tiefling, one of the hybrid races that roams Melyria. Tieflings are born when a bloodline is touched by fiendish influence, and this influence can sometimes be hidden for generations.

About tiefling: As tiefling is a hybrid race, it is possible in the world of Melyria that they have very curious ancestry. This generator considers that your tiefling is human born, but if you wish to have them mix with another race, feel free to use other race's chart. Age and common features from height to weight come from whichever you choose to use as a base. With elves, tiefling would look and age like a half-elf.

Species specific

Height

Here are height charts for male and female. Notice that "very short" and "very tall" are beyond average height scope. Feel to push size beyond these measurements, if required.

Weight

To calculate estimate weight, take height in metres (height in cm / 100), and count height_in_metres*height_in_metres*weight_modifier.
Modifiers found from the chart below.

[["16.9","(or lower) Frail"],["17-20.9","Petite\/Skinny"],["21-25.9","Average"],["26-29.9","Beefy\/chubby"],["30","(or above) Heavy"]] Roll the Dice

16.9	(or lower) Frail
17-20.9	Petite/Skinny
21-25.9	Average
26-29.9	Beefy/chubby
30	(or above) Heavy

Example

Tony wants to create a human that is 173 cm tall and little beefy. Tony chooses weight modifier 26 from the chart.
So, Tony's human weighs: 1.73*1.73*26 = 78 kg

Note: weight modifiers use old BMI as a starting point, to have some reference to human weight. After that numbers have been slightly tweaked to fit the purpose. Naturally, this makes selection lacking and somewhat inaccurate, but for simplicity sakes, this hopefully works for a fast generation.
