Dwarven species size comparison

Unread post by KOPOJIbPAKOB »

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.

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.
