This article represents the range of height taken from the vital statistics for various races given in the RPG. These more or less represent the most healthy members of the race, the ones that may become heroes. The base height represents the lowest possible height for a healthy adult individual in the race.

Since the RPG is not necessarily canon, this info is advisory.
