Remake Height Bug
« on: September 04, 2023, 04:00:19 PM »
Where:
New character area

When:
4/9 around 19:30 UTC

What:
Remade a character (using the crystal) that was 75 inch tall (Regular toril moon elf with the dragon ancestry template). The new character cannot exceed 65 inch in height (10 inch below what he was before remake).

Recreate:
Didnt remake again, crystal uses.

Ideas:
Not sure, perhaps for some reason moon elf height was adjusted to be shorter than it used to be? (tried to test a regular new moon elf character and height couldnt exceed 65 inch while in the past moon elf height could be higher if I remember correctly). Or perhaps there was some glitch in the subrace because of the remake itself.

Thank you

Moon elves can't be that tall usually. However star elves and wild elves can get pretty big.

Ok, this might be the cause

Moon elves are the regular 'elf' but with just the 'Elf' subrace you can get to higher heights than what you get with the 'moon elf' subrace. (Even though Toril's regular 'Elf' is moon elf).

I checked my older characters (both before remake and my other very old moon elf character that was higher) both of them showed 'Elf' in their sheet instead of 'moon elf'.

I can confirm my moon elf also is now just labeled as generic "Elf" and I think I had the height higher too. I believe I also was in the same boat on height as you at the 75in mark.

I've revised the way some subraces were set up; there's no mechanical impact but if your Moon Elf was changed to an Elf, you can ask a DM to let you pick your subrace again to pick Moon Elf, which should fix it.

Regarding height, there shouldn't have been any changes, though next update, I'll adjust the height of moon elves to better represent their 3E stats.

The character was 'Elf' before and now it's 'Moon Elf'. The 'Moon Elf' subrace doesnt allow the same height as was possible with the 'Elf' subrace (and thus after remake the character's height was limited to 10 inch below what the character was before the remake with the 'Elf' subrace). Is there a way to pick just 'Elf' to make the height consistent to what it was before the remake?

I've fixed this. However, if your Moon Elf isn't named "Moon Elf" in the character sheet, you'll need to ask a DM to reset your background so you can pick Moon Elf again.
