I voted for 7, but I think there should be 1-2 feet height difference after transformation. If a guy was 6'4, he'd be 7'4 in gestalt form. If a girl was 5'5, she'd be 5'6. On the gestalt scale, tiny people=tiny gestalts. You'd be taller than 5'3 and really tall compared to "regular" people, but you'd still be little compared to other gestalts.

13 FEET?! ...do you realize that would be as high as a Basketball player standing on the head of another basketball player?!

Now do you understand?
Indeed...those Height/weight numbers are truely absurd.Reiluna wrote:Where the hell did you get those numbers from?Average human height/weight:
Male - 5'9" = 121-163
Female - 5'4" = 108-144
I am a 5'7" Male and weigh 124 lbs. I am almost dangerously underweight. (My rib cage is clearly visable through my white t-shirts.) Supposedly, my ideal body weight for a small-frame male of my height is about 135-140 lbs.

Oh good grief...you know we'll never see a 13 foot werewolf in a hollywood film. Maybe in anime, but not in hollywood.
13 feet tall
To tall that would just be very strange that like as tall as an elaphant so if they're meant for forests why would they be thirteen feet tall

I dunno, but it sucks. At least the werewolves do, IMO.Searif Bogard wrote:what game is that
I'd rather see something like this:

Ok ok, the design isnt that great, but you can see that the werewolf is somewhat bigger, and taller (you can see that he's looking down on the player). I think thats the perfect height.

Re: How tall should they be?
sorry for bringing so old topic back too life but i had to coment.
i voted for 7 but i think werewolf should be 2 feet taller than in his human form but there is also this lets take 5'5 tall human when he transform he stand around 6'9(digigrade stance, bended kness and hunched forward) but he can be 7'5 if he stand straight up for short period of time

Re: How tall should they be?
Interesting question this, and a bit of a difficult one, it's easy to pick arbitrary numbers to compare against a human, because human beings have very little variation (Edit: clarification...between a casual/slouching/relaxed stance or standing up straight like a board) when you measure the standing height. Werewolves on the other hand are fraught with anatomical weirdness. My vote would be "depends on the human" who turns into the wolf, short people become short werewolves, tall people become tall werewolves, and as a general rule of thumb I'd measure a werewolf not by height, but by length, how long the werewolf is when it is stretched out from toe claws to nose tip, I'd have this be approximately the same as a human who is standing up on the ball of their feet, so a 6' tall human, who is 6'4 on the ball of their feet, would become a werewolf that is 6'4 from toe claw to nose tip, and fit in all the proportional changes inside that.
As a side note, the digitigrade posture most people think of actually cuts a fair amount of height from a human frame, I'm 6' tall standing normally, but drop to about 5'6" or so when I lean foreward, bend at the knees and let my heels come off the floor, I've little reason to think a gestalt werewolf body type based on my proportions would be any taller, but I don't think it has to be, any werewolf is going to be an imposing presence whether it's 5'6" or 9' tall in my humble opinion.
Not that I don't think towering werewolves shouldn't happen .

While the empty can may rattle the most, of equal or potentially greater import is what the reputably quiet cans are really full of.

Re: How tall should they be?
i agree that bending knees decreases height but not much because you lift heels witch lessen the decrease of heightMeeper wrote:Interesting question this, and a bit of a difficult one, it's easy to pick arbitrary numbers to compare against a human, because human beings have very little variation (Edit: clarification...between a casual/slouching/relaxed stance or standing up straight like a board) when you measure the standing height.

it also depends what kind of WW we are talking about magical ones could be 2 feet taller, but i think if we go by realism it would depend on WW design, but i think height will not increase for more than 1 feet.
