Aren't Ynnwn supposed to be taller than Kran (in general)?
« on: October 03, 2006, 11:41:31 pm »
Strange that a Kran is represented in the game as the ultimate giant when the race descriptions clearly state that Kran are from 1.90 m to 2.10 m tall, while Ynnwn are from 2.00 m to 2.30 m tall. I don't care which race is taller than the other in the game per se but this particular appearance clearly doesn't match its description. Since Kran can reach 2.10 m in height, while an Ynnwm can be 2.00 m tall, it is possible for a Kran to be taller. However, that seems to be more of an exception rather than a commonality.

It's possible that an Ynnwn male posture (flexing and slightly bent) could be contributing to that. But nevertheless, it seems that Ynnwn should clearly be the giant of all playable races in PlaneShift.

This screenshot is a good indication of height comparison between the races:

You can see that an Ynnwn female is slightly shorter than an Ynnwn male. However, their description states that Ynnwn are never shorter than 2.00 m in height. So, you can assume that this Ynnwn male is already taller than that, and Kran is probably a full 2.10 m in height.

Anyway, this is just an observation. If this has already been discussed before, just lock the thread then. Although, I didn't find any specific mention of it through a quick search.

Thanks.  :)

Quite the opposite, Minetus.

Witchking, I'd say that this is one of those little website mistakes - the Kran are generally the tallest race.
Judge: Are you trying to show contempt for this court, Mr Smith?
Smith: No, My Lord. I am attempting to conceal it.
