📋 About This Mod

The Problem

In vanilla BG3, heights are flattened across many races, ignoring clear differences from Forgotten Realms lore. Several groups share the exact same base height, which erases silhouette variety and makes distinct peoples look interchangeable:

  • []Tiefling, Human, Half-Elf, High Elf, Wood Elf, Drow → identical “human-tall” baseline.[/]

    []Shield Dwarf, Duergar, Gold Dwarf → one shared dwarf height.[/]

    []Rock Gnome, Deep Gnome, Forest Gnome, Lightfoot Halfling, Strongheart Halfling → one shared height.[/]

On top of that, vanilla heights skew overly tall versus FR references.

What this mod does

This mod corrects that: it applies FR heights, restoring readable silhouettes while keeping cinematics untouched. It gives every race and creatures their correct, lore-friendly height and weight with Forgotten Realms sources prioritized and D&D 5e used only when FR is silent. It also edits weight of all creatures; adds missing subraces to many unique characters, adds many missing races title and updates race descriptions with official one from 2024 Monsters Manual and Monsters of the Multiverse.

List of Changes

  • []Applies lore-accurate heights and weights to all playable races and NPC species/creatures.[/]

    []Edits race descriptions taken from 2024 Monster Manual + Monsters of the Multiverse (english & french only)[/]

    []Creates missing race titles[/]
