Could someone please explain the math behind this ? I think it's a very useful thread in case you're wondering about your toon's height and weight. Here it goes: http://www.amiaworld.net/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?p=918574#p918574

The summary about the math (copy and paste from the forum):

Eg.
Arctic Dwarf, Male.
Step A - Roll Height Modifier (example result = 2d4 = 4)
Step B - Add result to Base Height (example result = 2'8" + 4" = 3'0")
Step C - Multiply Height Modifier (Using the same roll) by the Weight Modifier (example result = 4 x (1d4) = 4 x (3) = 12)
Step D - Add result to Base Weight (example = 12 + 40 = 52)

Example Result = 3'0". 52lb.

See: Description

I don't understand what you're getting at that's improving, though.

Thanks Rafaelmacgyver... well I'm not used to this feet/inch system so that's fine now. :D 2'8" plus 4 would be 2'.9" to 2'.12" that would be 3' :D

But I bet half of amians don't know about this table and go around like 7'.10'' tiefling ! Rawr !

So, do you mean to suggest that not using the height and weight values table makes a character's physical aspects illegitimate? Because it sure seems like that's the ulterior agenda in posting about this.
