I just noticed that Shield dwarves are significantly bigger than Gold dwarves and Duergars. Is this some kind of bug?

No, that's recent change to make it lore correct.

Related: is it true that elves are now taller than humans?

Did this apply to already existing Dwarves, retroactively?

Assuming yes, as it affected PC elves retroactively as well. (unfortunately.)

Elves should be human-sized, right? Not larger, unless someone is working off a different lore book.

The dwarf change (haven't been on a dwarf yet) sounds good.

Nope, elf-jealousy propaganda.
