I made a new height comparison chart, because I didn’t like the ones I found online
[Reddit]
The chart has had over 10 thousand upvotes, but one comment has received a healthy dose too. Snownova added this on halflings.
I still object against the notion that halflings are shorter than gnomes. In my heart I will always know that halflings are child-sized and gnomes are toddler sized.
In response to that, RemtonJDulyak pointed out;
In AD&D 2nd Edition, a Gnome would range 39-44 (male) or 37-42 (female) inches, while Halflings ranged 34-48 (male) or 32-46 (female) inches, and Dwarves ranged 44-53 (male) or 42-51 (female) inches.
This means your party could have a female halfling taller than a male dwarf.
| Race | Base Height (Male) | Base Height (Female) | Modifier |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dwarf | 43 | 41 | 1d10 |
| Gnome | 38 | 36 | 1d6 |
| Halfling | 32 | 30 | 2d8 |
