Description: Just for fun and spite.

I thought you all might want to see this before you create characters. If I had a dollar for every wraith on a high school role play, I'd be rich. Anyway, here is nornal height and weight for kids and adolescents.

If you just want tocalculate the ideal weight or the normal weight range for anyone, click the link below. Heh, you can choose any reasonable age or gender, have the measurements in metrics or whatever-the-other-thing-is [lbs, inches]. But you
do need to put in some random number for the weight, or else it doesn't work.

That'll be helpful for a couple of characters that have emerged on my sites! I shall prod their players in the direction of those links.
Doesn't work for my guys though - they're all serious pre-pro/pro ballet dancers so they're a lot heavier. :p

that is really helpful. I will be sure to use domething like that on my site.
Thanks.
I really hate it when people don't do figures correctly.
A 6'2" medium build guy shouldn't be 125 pounds thanks you...

THANK YOU. I have to go off adult weight/height because I can never find one for kids. Usually if they are fifteen and below, I give up and don't include the height/weight because I'm anal about it as well. Sometimes, I have to ask my friends who are around 5'1-5'3 how much they weigh for my smaller characters because I'm 5'5-5'6 so I have no idea how many pounds is too much pounds off.

These are two very handy links. If you don't mind, I'll put them in ShinLi's handy links thread, pinned in the Managing Your RPG forum ^^.

Ah yes!
I try hard to vary the height and weight of my characters now (I especially don't want my females to appear likes models, or my males to be all buff when none of them actually are into fitness...)
Though, if you made say, a female character on a board that weighed more than 12 stones or something, all the scene kiddies would probably die of shock (I also don't use scene in a bad way. More like the people who use supermodels and MySpace queens all the time)
I weigh 8 stones (112 lbs) and am about 162cm (5"4). But I really do try to vary things.
