Well, if people would all put height in the character descriptions (hint hint) that would help a bit. :)

That reminds me, I still need to get Tristella's new Description to Thayan and KTA....
I never really saw much point in adding height and weight measurements like "5' 9"" or "125 lbs" to character descriptions, though. I've done it here and there, but how often do these numerical measurements come up in roleplay? And what's chunky to a human and morbidly obese to a gnome may be average weight and build for a half-orc. So I usually just add a "Build" descriptive to the description ("Tall and lean," "Short and muscular," "Heavyset") and leave it at that. :-/

I'll normally just put in build, but I also like putting in height (if not weight). My problem with weight is muscle's tendency to be heavier than fat, confusing the figures :P

I just like seeing height so I at least have some idea as to if someone is taller or shorter. Can help with RP in terms of "looking up at" or "looking down at" and such. Plus can provides good opportunities for fun comments joking about height (or lack thereof). :)
