Hello,
I’m working on TRP stuff for my upcoming Zandalari Beastcaller, and I was wondering if we have any definitive numbers for average height and weight.
I see that Wowpedia has 10’ as the speculative average for upright males, nothing for average weight, and nothing for age beyond the fact that Rastakhan was over 200 with Rezan’s blessing.
What are you all rolling with?
I would take a safer presumption and say trolls, on average when they’re not killing each other, can live into the 70-90 range. Maybe even a bit further.
It would be good, if you want numbers and stuff, to go off averages of darkspear and other slim troll races given a little fluctuation/compensation for change.
For example: they say a troll male (playable) is about 8’3 and 200lb. For math’s sake, 200lb over 8ft is about 25lb per foot. Given that Zandalari are 2ft taller and bit more muscular, lets say 250-325? Sound fair and make sense?
Personally, I’d go off just below/above/average for these things. Generic descriptors unless you really need numbers for something.
Thank you for the break down. I suppose going more generic would be the easiest route. Thank you for the help.
Wait aren’t Darkspear the same size as Zandalari only they hunch? This means that the new allied race baring some muscle mass would be about the same weight over all to the Darkspear. Posture not withstanding and all. It would be like your Orc suddenly gaining a few dozen pounds just because they went to the Chiropractor and now stand up right instead of hunch.
Close to the same overall height. Darkspear are bit lankier than Zandalari in build, though, so the latter probably have some more mass on them.
Last I saw was Zanadalari being taller than the other tribes, aside from the Drakkari which… iirc, they’re on par with in height? So I’m rolling with 8-9ft in height. Which makes sense to me if orcs are supposed to be 7’ on average (males) and my head kinda stops at the chest of a zandalari female… that’s roughly two feet, I think?
Maybe a foot and some change, but it’s good enough for me.
Weight I’m not sure about, but I definitely believe they’re heavy… maybe not as heavy as an orc (which are supposed to have very dense bones and their arms are almost thicker than a troll’s entire torso.)
