Greetings fellow sentients,
As of late I've been attempting to finalise my character's description profile, but have run into a slight snag... physical weight. Sure I could just slap a number down, but over-perfectionistic me would never be satisfied with that.
My character is a 2.24 metres (7' 4") Barabel female with a lean/muscular build. From my reasoning Barabels would be heavier set and more muscular then a human of comparable height/build. Also the thick scales and tail must be taken into consideration.
I've tried a cross-comparison of BMI charts, but most go no-where near the height I need and these never take muscle/fat percentages into account. I've found a few character resources for WoW and D&D, but I can't find a comparable species to use as a basis. Wookiepedia also doesn't tend to provide references to each races weights either, unlike heights and lifespans.
So, does anyone have any ideas or tips on how to accurately determine a believable body weight for non-human (and/or non-human-like) sentient species?
Thanks in advance.
