Ectomorphs and Messomorph receive +2 to their Size for purposes of determining their heights. Endomorphs receive -3, and Normals are unmodified. Referees wishing to take racial and sexual height differences into account should note the average height and give appropriate modifiers to bring a Size 10 individual into the desired range. Example: A race in which males average 5' 6" and females average 5' 4" would have modifiers of +/- 0 for men, and -1 for women. If men were supposed to be 5' 9", their modifier would be +2. This table may be used to determine an individual's height for purposes of finding their leaping ability, or simply to add flavor to a character description.
