forum Weights?!?!?!

I have a character who is 8 feet tall (about 2.4 meters for you metric folks) and I'm trying to figure out his weight. He's kinda thin. Can someone give me a range?

@"Shadow of the Elements"

probably 290 though maybe 300

245 lbs is the bottom end for "normal weight" at this height, while the top end is around 330 lbs. This is all according to a BMI calculator just based on height and weight. It isn't the most accurate, but it's good for estimates

I've found this site to be pretty helpful:
https://www.disabled-world.com/calculators-charts/height-weight-teens.php
It's got a bunch of average weights depending on age and height

what would be around the weight of a girl who's 6'3 and thin, but has wings? her bones would be hollow like a birds to allow her to fly so she wouldn't weigh what she usually would, if that makes sense.

do you know what her wingspan is?

35 feet

WIth her hollow bones, I'm estimating she'd be around 70-80 pounds, and her wings would probably be around 30-40 pounds. So she'd probably be around 100-120 pounds give or take. She might be more or less depending on how much she weighs without her wings.

ooh, okay. thank you!
