Statures of Adventurers?
« on: August 04, 2012, 10:09:32 pm »

Does Height/Weight have any affect on your combat?

I have a Nord Axedwarf Adventurer (Genesis mod) Who is described as Very Tall, Incredibly Muscular and Very Fat. He is so big he can hold a great axe in one hand and so strong when he throws... orks for example, they fly about 3 tiles away.

If I had a very short adventurer who is still Incredibly Muscular and Very Fat, would he produce the same results?

Size does.  is he average size?  than he recieves no bonuses that a bulemic supermodel of his race/caste would not, provided she was equally skilled.  Variance tokens in the raws produce those differences in the description page, and they do not affect combat.



and you spelled alestorm wrong.

And he is "Very Large for a Nord"

Than he is as big as the size varience allows him to be.  This very large means he is probably the highest number available.  The advantage is he keeps his str while gainng mass.  A dorf is actually stronger per pound than a human, but because he is smaller he is unable to gain a true advantage...  if he were the size of a hume AND as stronger he would tend to win.

but to state: although I cannot say with complete certainty, nothing on the description page affects gameplay.  all that injury and likes and attributes are available elsewhere as well and appearance descripters are for your benefit only.
