Okay, anybody who's known me for any length of time in association with Shadowrun knows that I've had a real bug up my ass about heights and weights of critters and character races since the first edition. I've been fighting with them for a long, long time, and with SR4, I actually scored a minor victory of sorts. Rob asked me for heights and weights for the player races, and while they got doctored slightly between my handing them in and their publication, I still feel they're better and more realistic in this edition than we've ever gotten before.

I also provided heights and weights to Lars for the metavariants in Runner's Companion, which survived more or less unscathed as I'd submitted them. Again for those who've known me for a long time, there's a reason I haven't been griping about the heights and weights in this edition. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

My height and weight figures for critters didn't survive so well in the core book, though I did get a better (though not really accurate, IMO) weight for the sasquatch in there. Can't win them all.

All this being said, it should surprise no one that I originally had a height and weight chart for all the Infected critters in Running Wild. It didn't survive the word count fight, and that's probably a good thing since no one else had done one for the hundreds of other critters appearing in the book. However, I'm typically a horrendous packrat if something is even a little bit important to me, and this certainly qualifies. I've included the six sentients that the Infected stem from for reference.
