My odd question is:How much does a Troll Slayer weigh?We had a debate yesterday because our Troll Slayer got drunk and two human soldiers were trying to lift him.

Thanks!!!

Depends on the shape he is in.

A slayer about 5 foot high weighs about 180 lbs I would figure... if he is a thick muscled fighter...

Come to mind that this could be counted easily with some way. How about just adding Strenght and Toughness together and multiply that by a racial number (given below):

• Humans: x25
• Dwarfs: x19
• Elves: x20
• Halflings: x25 (even we do not have them... I used fan-based rules with starting stats)

Not very accurate and doesn't count for example over-weight, but should do it. What do you think?

Yes but with this a dwarf in the same shape as a human will weigh less.Is it something true for Dwarves?

But I like this kind of system!

Halflings heavier than humans and dwarves?

Are halflings taller than humand or more bulky than dwarves?

Unless they are both, that doesn't make sense.

Ok - Good point there. Didn't think that further. Idea was that Halflings total (St & To) stays low. Maybe idea needs max size also. That would be the maximun total (St + To) that counts. So, Halflings this could be 6. IF Halfling would gain St + To amount higher than 6, you still count the weight by just 6. Small Halflings weight about 75-85lbs and heavy weight Halflings 140+lbs (these are from WFRP2). So, this should keep that right. Also you have to remember it still doesn't make Halflings bigger than they are in height, just - Bulkier, but not same way as Dwarfs (who are very muscled). And the amount is in pounds offcourse.

The idea was following (minimun total of St & To / average St & To / high St & To - can go higher):

• Humans: x25 (min: 4 / average: 6 / high: 9); max count: ??
• Dwarfs: x19 (min: 6 / average: 8 / high: 10); max count: ??
• Elves: x20 (min: 4 / average: 6 / high: 9); max count: ??
• Halflings: x25 (min: 3 / average: 5 / high: 7); max count: 6

Dont know would other races also need max count? But this is just simple quick rule...

Also I didn't remember to add in the previous post. Even the multiplier is the same (or even larger) you have to remember the size difference and little compare the final result not just the multiplier number.

For example if you would compare Halfling and Human, which would both have St+To=5 x 25 = and weight 125lbs. Human would be pretty skinny and small. Now, halfling on the other hand would be very large on Halfling standards.

Even though halflings are heavy, they still don't weight more than fat kids. I don't know where this whole "Heavy halflings" come from. Besides muscles weigh more than fat, so a dwarf would be heavier than a halfling of the same size.

Well, there is possiblity to drop halflings multiplier to x18. I based the idea of weight for WFRP2 weight table, but maybe lesser number would be more right.

OR this is why Halflings are not presented in the WFRP3 ruleset and we just forget them now...

Omens of War gives a typical Encumbrance value (which is not same as weight) for a human rider (15 I think, don't have it before me), one could extrapolate to others. For simplicity I would go with dwarf being shorter and strouter and around same Enc. (though obviously not on a horse).

I recommend p24 of 2nd Edition Core rules.

There is a table that seems intelligently constructed.

Essentially, on average Dwarfs are lighter than Humans.

The 50-56 line reads:

Dwarf: 140

Elf: 130

Halfling: 100

Human:155

Imo this makes sense as although dwarfs are more muscled and squat, volume is a function of hight to the power of 3.
