i MUST be tall and I MUST wield scaddernak basilisk wyrm dragon scale armor and I WILL swing two greatswords at you. yes, I know the racial max is 6'6 but I am 7' ...

 

( I think elves should be tall & unhumanly, but if they're going to be Orc tall, it should be at the cost of strength [at least for the tallest subrace, Helves - would make sense seeing as they're racially proficient with magic]. Tired of seeing 10 year supersoldier elf personas )

 

Just @ me at that point lol.  I also hate it when said 7ft tall scaddernak armor wearing elf does.. [insert made up scenario] 

Regardless, heres your reddit gold.

To those of you who can not accurately visualize what a 7'0 person looks like, look at this picture of Shaquille O' Niel (7'1) drinking from a regular sized water bottle.

Elves should be very short and work in polar workshops producing toys 

Easy, create a new subrace.

Or just remove all of them from the server.

(Note: this is personal opinion)

I think that the environment each subrace has originated from and still settle would have a great impact on height.

 

Subraceless Elves would vary, depending on one's personal heritage.

 

Wood Elves would definitely be the shortest, since living in dense forests & jungles requires less height and more mobility.

 

High Elves I'm not really sure, I'm not familiar with their interpretation in lotc, but I guess living in wide open areas would help them grow their height.

 

Dark Elves should be Dwarf-sized, since their environment is mostly caves, however I've never heard of them living underground so I guess they would be a bit like short Humans.

elves are lanky

I want taller elves so I can manifest irl.

SHORT ELVES SHORT ELVES SHORT ELVES

High elves tall because Larihei put them on the stretching rack

 

dark elves short to middling

wood elves short

 

Subraceless anywhere in between

 

no elves except wood elves and subraceless elves that are mostly wood elves should have beards. I can tolerate some dark elves beards but high elves should always be twinks.

Personally I don't really care which race is the tallest, etc, but I want at least ONE of these subraces to be short kings. It's funny. It needs to happen

I always played my high elf as a short king of average (human) height. The dichotomy is amusing. Others should try it.

why are short elves a thing, elves are genetically tall

This is actually something I took into consideration when making this poll.
 

Subraceless Elves should have a mix of every height as there isn't really a way to keep track of all the heritage they have.

When I joined the server, Wood Elves were the shortest Elven race. With living in the woods/dense forests/jungles. I had assumed that they would get taller, as they don't have "box" to contain themselves in. I know many people who have taller Wood Elves and I kept them in mind with the "final" max as I didn't want them to get left out.

In regards to the High Elves, they are meant to be tall. So wide open spaces indeed!

Much like with the Wood Elves, when I joined the Dark Elves were meant to be a "middle ground" height. which is something I wanted to keep. 5'8 ft was the shortest and 6'2 was the tallest. I'm so glad that there is a larger range of heights for them now as opposed to five or so years ago. I've lived in cavern systems on my Dark Elf before, however, this was three years ago and I haven't seen it done since. Human heights are acceptable.

people always like to emote being stronger then ppl because they're taller
