Well, I'm a real-life dwarf and I'm 5'6".
Beside the same nomenclature, a SR dwarf is not the same thing as someone having dwarfism.

Does anyone know of any published instances of height (and weight) limits for metahumans, more specifically dwarves and trolls? Anyone have any houserules for this?
For the minimal/maximum range, I think that could be extrapolated from human statistics as a percentage.
And you could apply this percentage to the metahumans...
More info on human heightFrom what it says, 20% variation is considered abnormal, so you could use something like 15%.
I'll let you do the numbers as I can't stand the damn illogical inch/feet/other_random_body_part sizing...
Edit: I'll do it in meters (min/average/max), with SR4 average and 15% variation.
Dwarf: 1.02/1.2/1.32
Elf: 1.62/1.9/2.19
Human: 1.49/1.75/2.01
Ork: 1.62/1.9/2.19
Troll: 2.13/2.5/2.88
Well, that seems reasonable.
Remember, Like HentaiZonga said, it's a bell curve.
So the more extreme numbers will be very rare...
