How tall should female martials be?
>>98875483It depends on their growth during their puberty and childhood based on nutritional inputs, workload, disease exposure, chronic low-grade infections and parasitic presence. This determines how tall different classes and populations can get, how delayed or accelerated growth and puberty are for children, and how tall they will be in adulthood.The body prioritises survival and energy storage over puberty and growth. An undernourished street child would look younger, shorter, and more wasted than a fellow well-feed child of nobility. Heavy physical labour in childhood also often causes bone density increases and shorter, stockier frames rather than linear height growth. Surviving 30%-50% infant and child mortality rates before age 5 leads to a rugged constitution, bearing the minor physical markers of past bouts of malnutrition, fever, or childhood illnesses.In chronically stressed children, the growth spurt is often blunted and prolonged. Instead of a sharp, dramatic spike in height, they grow slowly over a longer window, sometimes continuing before growth plates finally fuse. However, if a street child suddenly comes into wealth and health, they would experience "catch-up growth" reclaiming their genetic height potential.Environmental stress often impacts boys and girls differently. Males are physiologically less "buffered" against environmental stress than females. Young males typically have higher caloric demands and higher rates of childhood mortality under stress, while females may invest more heavily in fat storage for future reproduction, resulting in distinct dimorphism patterns between classes.From what I gather, the average child would be delayed by one or two Tanner stages compared to a modern child of their age, although that depends on genetics, too. Menarche would likely be delayed to ages 14-16, rather than 12-13. In extreme poverty or high-altitude/harsh environments, it could be delayed as late as 16-17.
>>98875483If by 'martials' you refer to combatants or women engaged in martial training, elite physical conditioning requires high protein intake and caloric surplus. A female martial artist from an elite background would stand significantly taller and possess greater bone density than a female martial artist recruited from a peasant levies or urban poor.>Noble / Elite Martial 162–168 cm (5'4"–5'6") Linear growth, optimal bone density Unchecked access to animal proteins; early puberty>Agrarian Peasant150–158 cm (4'11"–5'2") Musculoskeletal hypertrophy, broad frame Heavy labor at young age, seasonal caloric deficits.>Urban Poor / Street Child145–153 cm (4'9"–5'0") Stunted, stocky, low bone mass, chronic parasitic infections, delayed Tanner stages.
>>988754838ft tall, minimum
>>98875483they should all be 3 foot high dwarven women with beards and greataxes
>>98875483Small/normal. Women cant compete with men in combat so if they are trying to do that instead of be mother's theyve got to ha e some sort of supernatural ability to level the playing field. Said supernatural ability would be functional without changing her physical size, so if anything the smaller she is the more advantage she has in combat since her small statue would make her harder to hit, allow her to move faster, etc. The only downside is lack of reach, so give her a spear. Now you have the increased supernatural power being put behind a thrusting weapon for maximum damage, & if shes small she can jump around a lot with a LOT of height. Basically Final Fantasy Tactics Dragoon.

>>98877782Fanart for Arknights, a gacha game but you can get everything for free, gameplay is solid and most importantly, the setting is a very nice urbam fantasy with lots of cool worldbuilding bits. Story was better before it took a more sci fi spin, and the setting was more interesting when going wide in exploring different places rather than trying to go deep with the meta narrative, but still really good. Surprisingly, it does have a well written and consistent isekai arc during a rainbow six collab, of all things.The action sequel is mixed for me.All in all pretty cool, read into it, it's very nice and I'd love to play a game in it, theory crafting a lot of different systems to use until I find the one.
>>98875483>How tall should female martials be?Null set. They shouldn't exist. No woman is capable of the duties required by a martial character, and no woman is capable of defeating any man ever born in melee combat. Women are intrinsically inferior and only exist as decoration and breeding vessels. No RPG is capable of changing this. Any depiction of a femnoid """martial""" is nothing by communist tranny demoralization propaganda. Women will never, ever, be as good as men.

>>98875483However tall you want them based on their species norms? Like, if I remember right there was a supplement for BECMI D&D that was nothing but NPCs of the various classes that encompass various levels and one of the fighters was a rather short human female (like, under 5 feet in height). Or maybe it was a thief, but still very short.
You never specified system, so I'm going to pick Anima Beyond Fantasy. Add the character's total STR and CON scores, subtract one point for being female, then consult Table 3 on Page 10 of the core rulebook.Most martial classes should typically have decent STR and CON, so for this example let's assume an 8 in both categories, giving us a final size of 15. This puts the character's height at between 5'4" and 6'6", with a weight between 135-395 lbs. You can pick anything inside that range to reflect the character's build, is she lean and wiry versus bulky and stocky, etc.You can also take the Uncommon Size Advantage to make your character much larger or smaller than she should normally be.
>>98875483In my system that I made, generally speaking the taller species are better as martials because they get abilities that lend towards martial combat (natural weapons, improvements to skills tied to weapon damage, bonuses to attacks with certain types of weapons, the ability to use larger weapons more easily, minor damage reduction to aid in frontline combat, that sort of thing). This generally includes the females.Like, what would you be more worried about, a 3 foot tall goblin with a switchblade or a 7 foot tall minotaur with an axe as tall as she is and horns that could gore you through?

Tall enough to be imposing with a thick enough accent to be cute but still understandable.

>>98880460and your fucking point? Got to love the we found one animal that has that trait that means we all have to act like that's normal. They're also species that rape to breed, should we allow rape just because of those species do it?
>>98890157>t.My point is that (You)'ve completely lost the plot and are inserting things into the conversation nobody has said for the sake of being mad and trolling.
One of the playable races in FFXIV have the females be significantly shorter than the males and I think that's pretty cool
>>98890157>OneMany, in fact.
assuming roughly human sexual dimorphism, one standard deviation above the average male height for their species, which only like 1% of women aresomeone needs at least average male strength to be worth a damn as a martial, and women are weaker than men even when they're the same height as men, so for a woman to be worth anything as a warrior she would need to be even taller than the average man this is a tiny fraction of women, and only a small portion of these exceptionally tall women would have the both the opportunity and opportunity to learn martial arts, so female martials should be pretty rarethrow this out the window for highly militaristic societies where everyone is expected to be a warrior, every not!spartan woman is going to have combat skills even if she lacks the strength to be particularly effective with themalso there still can be short and weak female martials, but they must have extraordinary reasons to become so when the odds are so against them. the short female martial is probably either a player character (because players can be a little special), an important npc, or a notable oddity
>>98880391Yeah, everyone can tell you are a retarded nogames who would lose a fight with a little girl in a coma.
>>98893626Why are you calling him a giga?
>>98875483They should obey the standard Martial non-dwarf PC rule and, while being slender, athletic and visibly female, stand no shorter than 6'5, either being unusually large for their race, or being from a race (Elf, Goliath, Oni, Ogryn) that excuses it.The one exception is Female Drow Martials, who under no circumstances should be any taller than 5'0, yet utterly convinced they are also 6'5.
>>98890258IIRC I'm pretty sure that, when you start counting species, more tend to have larger females than not.
