Height and Weight Variant

[Choinski, Burt]

Yea, we did a lot of tweaking in our area... :)

Instead of the normal S+St+<race/sex mod> for height (where all innately
strong characters are huge), we use 7d6+<race/sex mod> for humans &
Elves, 4d6 for Dwarves and 3d6 for Faerries.  This allows for better
variance.  For humans, add (Culture Height-70) to this base height.

For Weight, roll 1d10, adding the SB based on your character's maximum
(not current) Strength.  This requires the weight tables to be expanded
a bit:

HUMAN    <60"    60-70"   71-80"    >80"
 roll   M   F    M   F    M   F    M   F
10-11  2.2 1.8  2.8 2.2  3.2 2.3  3.6 2.5
12-13  2.4 1.9  3.0 2.4  3.5 2.5  3.9 2.8
  14   2.6 2.0  3.2 2.6  3.8 2.7  4.2 3.1
  15   2.8 2.1  3.4 2.8  4.1 2.9  4.5 3.4

         Elf    Faerry   Dwarf
 roll   M   F    M   F    M   F
11-12  2.2 2.0  1.6 1.4  3.5 3.0
  13   2.3 2.1  1.7 1.5  3.8 3.2
  14   2.4 2.2  1.8 1.6  4.1 3.4
  15   2.5 2.3           4.4 3.6
