well height and weight ARE notable because if the rp is combat scenario based roleplay weight class and how tall a person is drastically effects how they can do some things. Why do you think you rarely see heavy weight boxers fighting feather weights? Because it'd be the big guy smacking the smaller guy around a hell of a lot or the smaller guy just dodging and weaving around like a devil for the most part.[/quote]

In that instance, fair enough. I happen to never participate in RPs with a high chance of mano-a-mano combat so that thought never crossed my mind.

[quote]Also it is notable if a character is taller than the other for reference sake.[/quote]

I guess you're not wrong. It still feels like absurdly specific information for a character sheet to ask for measurements to me, though. You don't measure other things like hair length or specific hue of skin-tone (I hope!) on the off-chance an inter-character comparison feels necessary. But whatever. I guess there are reasons for height and weight fields for some people - I just think they're unlikely information to get used in the bulk of RPs I participate in.
