I thought we might be able to say it simple: build is a relative figure,
and the racial base would be in the form of a description and perhaps
the strength/speed factors (ie. how much of your build is towards
strength/bone structure, and how much towards speed [there are specific
terms for the things I mean, I just don't know them :( Something like
aerobic and anaerobic muscle]) - humans perhaps 50%-50%, dwarves
80%-20%, and elves 40%-60% etc...
Rude, that's true. Have to think about this...
