Whiners size

Sun 03 Jun 2018, 10:20

How tall are whiners? The text says they are “small, skittish humanoids”, i am picturing very small creatures (30 cms) but it is unclear what the designers intent was here.

I pictured them more like 60 cm high when I wrote about them, but I really don't know the original measurements – these beings were modelled after the accompanying picture. Perhaps the whiners vary in size between 30-90cm according to social status and age – much like powerful persons were depicted in different sizes by the Egyptians.

That sounds good. How big would the queen be in the Vale of the Dead adventure site?

It says in the GM book (under Halflings and Goblins p68):

"Goblins and halflings are half the size of humans, but twice as large as whiners."

I more think of her as an insect queen. Bulging, unable to move and heavier than a human.
