My char is fat?

Post by Safilix »

I did not set my char as fat. I guess it might have been set as that as default i dont know. Can some GM please change my character to be not fat and skinny.

Thanks,

I don't think you can ask a GM to change your physical appearance. As far as I know, depending on what you eat and how often/the degree that your energy bar is full, you will either be fat, chubby, skinny, or other weights/physical appearances. Ask in game about dieting.

I'm sure you can get a gms help on this, alot (or a wee number) of folk seemed to have screwed up their weight whilst making their char. And as far as I know, eatting doesn't really do much other than give you a bit of help stat-wise, so not eating for a whole year wont make ya skinny :wink: :lol:

Sometimes it isnt possible to be not fat. When i created an orcess with few strength and stamina, the lowest possible weight and a small height she was determined as fat. To be her not fat she would have to be either much much taller or having more muscles and stamina.
I think this still needs to be balanced a bit ;)

Of course there are racial limits.

Just for the record, how fat/thin your character is depends on your race and the ratio between your height and your weight. How much you actually eat has no effect whatsoever.

On my first character I constantly kept my energy bar up. When I did this, my character appeared as chubby, and then later on fat. I made a second character after following someones advice and now I always keep my energy bar to a minimum (almost nothing) unless I am fighting or training. That character has the same height, weight, and is not fat. I thought the energy bar had some effect, but maybe I just got lucky on my second character.

Strength also has an effect.

No. If you take a close look-at and it says that the char is fat, then it is fat. This is still an engine based game. Otherwise we would just do pen and paper via chat.

To be fair jupiter, its not like there was a

[]celebrity
[]thin
[]fat
[]huge
[] 'your mom'

Checklist or anything. Most of the time people want a nice normal-sized character, and the end up with chubby McChubby. They really should put a 'your character is [ ]' warning on the site.

i think it's a tad funny that orcs are set to 1.19 metres in height and 90 kg from the start..so either you have a REALLY tall orc at 1.70 and slightly fat OR a terribly short and overly obese orc.. orcs are not even taller then dwarfs..well 19 centimetres taller :roll: yes yes yes yes yes yes a THOUSAND times YEEEEESSS people were shorter back in the day, but they didnt have orcs..or so i THINK at least*shifty-paranaoid eyes* a very tall man is whaaat..1.80? havent made a oomin in some time so, ya know... it's good the way it is though...you can build muscles by chopping down trees or mining..thats how i do it at least :)
