I'm putting up this list, which compares the height of humanoids across several games. I mainly created this for use in fanfic, which is why the original thread is over here (http://tthfanfic.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=3311).
This version has Shadowrun, Earthdawn, Dungeons & Dragons, and World of WarCraft. None of which I'm affiliated with.
I really would like to add the races of Middle Earth, because they're a very obvious gap in the table. Though I'm going to go out on a limb here and say the dwarves are about 4 feet tall. ;)
These heights may change depending on what version/site you look at. These are averages or values selected from the given range of heights, which can vary by a lot.
