=Build=
You are free to select any height and weight the GM deems reasonable for a member of your race. These choices do occasionally matter in play – for instance, when you attempt to impersonate an enemy, wear someone else's armor, cross a rickety bridge, reach a high ledge, or hide behind cover. If you are lighter or heavier than usual for your [[ST]], you may qualify for a build-related disadvantage. The following table gives the thresholds for these disadvantages for normal humans.

The extremes of each weight range usually match the extremes of the associated height range. Overlaps are intentional. Consider two ST 10 men who stand 5'8" and weigh 175 lbs.: one might be big-boned and lean, the other fine-boned and chubby.

Depending on muscle tone, a 160-lb. man could have any ST from 9 to 13 and claim "Average" build.

Regardless of weight, you never have to take a build-related disadvantage. If you want to be ST 9, 5'1," and 250 lbs. with "Average" build, the GM should allow it.

In some settings, the GM may require you to take reaction modifiers if you select build-related disadvantages, but this is not automatic.

===Shopping for the Big, Tall, Thin, and Small===
If you are [[Skinny]], [[Fat]], or [[Very Fat]], or have [[Dwarfism]] or [[Gigantism]], clothing and armor tailored for average folk will not fit you! A shop in a city or large town, especially at [[TL6]]+, might have a selection that fits. Otherwise, you will have to pay an extra 10% or 20% for Gigantism or Very Fat – to have something made for you. This premium almost always applies to medieval/fantasy armor.
