We're about to do a high fantasy roleplay with fantasy races, impossible magic and all that, but... GASP... SOMEONES HEIGHT ISN'T REALISTIC IN A FANTASY RP?! OH MAI GAWWD STOP THE PRESSES, THAT'S JUST UNACCEPTABLE...! OH THE HUGE MANATEES!

Being sarcastic mind you. XD

Just think it's funny. Impossible races, impossible magic, but we have to abide by height physics because it would be unrealistic if people were very tall? Wat? Did I miss the meaning of a fictional fantasy?

To answer your question,

Your race still has physical attributes that are regular to that said race. Go outside and count how many people are six or seven inches taller than everyone else (AKA a whole head and shoulders) and then apply it to the RP. We have about four humans, all male. Two of which assuming the height remained the same, on Beo's sheet, would be WAY over the average height. Essentially meaning than 50% of the male population is way over. I'm not saying it's unrealistic, I'm saying to keep in mind how tall that is and just how much bigger you are than everage (A six foot tall individual is about 10% larger than the average person height wise, which is huge). That's like the equivalent of myself compared to Shaq O'neal.

You didn't miss the meaning of fictional fantasy, you missed the meaning that you're not overly special and if you want to be overly special physically you better have a good excuse to be overly special. Because in human culture a man that big isn't going to weild a sword. They'd be in fall armor weilding a mace or battleaxe of some kind.

I know full well you are being sarcastic, but I know SOMEONE is going to eventually use that logic as a legitimate argument. I want to cover my bases and establish that my thought process for you all to see.
