mountain orc height in helpfile and character generator
mountain orc height in helpfile and character generator
Hi, ok lets see how do i explain this and make any sense. First I mad ea a male mountain orc. According to the mountain orc help file they are normally over seven feet tall some close to eight feet tall. It conflicts with the helpfile on orc physical descriptions where it says they are 60- 71 inches tall. On the character generator after 12 restarts setting it at tall setting and I am getting capped at 6 foot. Granted maybe i have just terrible luck, but seems after 12 tries i would get some other hieght then 6 ft if it was not capped there. According to the forgotten realm wikki page the helpfile one mountain orcs is accurate. I think it is an issue where it is set maybe for the same cap as grey orcs, who are smaller then mountain orcs. Not a big priority but thought would point it out, as it was confusing to me, maybe will be to someone else too. Thanks , sorry for the ramble.

It's an easy fix, but let me just check the mechanics of this with Mask before I make the change. I don't want to throw off the power balance.

Okay, so maybe not an easy fix. The code recognizes the variables of short, average, and tall; it will not respond to numeric values and it appears to cap orcs lower than humans. The two race files are silent on the issue though.
This also means that random heights are kind of out of the question for now; the code seems very rigid about coded height values.

Okay, Mask added some new options here and mountain orcs should now have the correct height and weight range.
