PC Height Affects Shapeshift Size

Post by Glowing Mushroom »

I'm not sure if this is by design or not, it very well could be.

But I've noticed that the height/size of your PC affects the size of Shapeshift forms.

A Dwarf who Shapeshifts into a dragon will be significantly smaller than a Human who Shapeshifts into a dragon.

A Firbolg who Shapeshifts into a Monolith or a Bear will be absolutely gigantic compared to all other races.

In a way, it does make sense. A larger person would likely create a larger shifted form. And it is interesting to see a unique perspective on different sized people/shifts. I personally like it this way.

But it would also be a bug, so I just want to ensure the devs are aware of this.

This is not a bug.

When you create your character, you will have a chance to adjust your height up to 5%. This excludes the adjustments that some races already has. However, this value will continue to follow your character in any form - polymorph, shape shifting, etc. We do not reset the value on these and I don’t intend to. It does offer a good level of uniqueness.

Also, bugged upon making? In what regards? That other thread that I haven’t been able to replicate?

Okay makes sense! Thanks for the reply. I honestly figured it was not a bug but I wanted to throw it out there anyway. I do like the unique levels shapeshift height for sure.
