The books have guidelines for height, weight, skin color, etc.
Yet, on the character creator here, it's just blank and you put in whatever you want. I would really like those guidelines.....I've never met an Orc in real life, so it would be nice to know how big they are when I'm creating one.
The whole point of this website is convenience though, is it not? Is there an orc out there that's feeling body-shamed for his size? I think guidelines are a perfectly reasonable request. Leave it so you could put whatever you want, but it would be nice for a little tooltip that says "Hey, gnomes are usually short."
Just open the relevant book in one tab and the builder in another. Now you have all the guidelines right there for easy and quick referencing and the box to put whatever you want in.

Ah, I misunderstood and thought the suggestion was to limit the fields to follow the guidelines. I've passed on this feedback as I totally agree, surfacing that information in the builder would be useful

Yeah, it's kind of a pain to track that stuff down in the books every time.
On the other hand, they have been moving further away from set physical characteristics lately. Even as a range.

The guidelines are just that, guidelines. The fields are blank in order to facilitate departing from those guidelines

We're just saying a link to those guidelines would be nice is all. It takes a minute to dig up the chart.

Thank you! Yes, I'm just talking about having a quick reference to the guidelines so we don't have to open up a separate tab or open the book.
