Tall characters in certain area

It seems that a tall human character cannot fit through the secret passage in rat gang lair.

I'm not sure if this is a bug or feature, as it sorta makes sense and is hilarious when you consider implications. But the fact is, given that transition is tiny, increasing character height to "tall" makes it impossible to step into transition. Apparently height also affects hitbox a bit.

I can take a look at these if screenshots and exact area names are provided.

Can we just remove hitboxes altogether? It would solve so, so many issues.

This has been discussed, and unfortunately I don't believe that is possible without creating many more.

We can't, as it would allow people to walk through each other.

The next thing I'd ask is for every creature to have the exact same hitbox, then. With the exception of really big creatures, of course, such as giants and dragons.

This area:

It is Cordor (Undercity) Sewer Rat Hideout.


The problem can be fixed by placing bigger transition and a bigger crate to cover it.

Touching hitboxes in any way is a bad idea, okay? If you want to propose that, use feedback forum. But it is a royally bad idea.

Also, there aren't really "many issues". This is the first one i encountered in years, and even this was on funny side.

It's not a bad idea at all. Let's do it! Hitbox equality means that pixies lose those advantages of being tiny and hard to target.

This stuff should be and already is expressed by dex bonus.
However, if you want fey to be hard to hit, because targeting pixies should require pixel-hunting, then that's not a good idea.

Additionally according to arelith wiki a pixie is 2 feet tall and weights 30 pounds. :mrgreen:

That's halfling sized.
