Subtract level 1 hit points from 35 and then divide by hieght.

BMI is an antiquated way of measuring weight to height ratios. What we should be asking is what race has the highest BSA or body surface area.

BSA (m^2) = √ [height(cm) x weight(kg)] / 3600

this works for trolls either way, measuring the folds between their man tits adds an extra dwarf of body surface.

trolls are as wide as ogres but shorter, also check out them man tits.

There is zero muscle definition in ogres arms, shoulders, or chest. There might be muscle underneath but the top has a lot of fat.

Trolls on other hand are the only race in EQ you can actually see their ribs sticking through their flesh and they have clearly defined muscles in their arms/shoulders/chest. Though the males have a strange bloated abdomen, the females do not share that characteristic. That suggests some kind of feature of troll sexual dimorphism and not overall fat/muscle content. Unlike ogres who the females and males both look like stay puff marshmallow men with zero muscle definition anywhere to be seen.

I think I can agree that trolls would win based on surface area.

Still voting gnome tho. They are pudgy little shishkabobs wrapped around ity bity skeletons [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].

Trolls just have looooose skin. Like they lost a lot of it [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] (if we are going by luclin models).

Classic trolls, probably scientifically highest BMI cuz of girth, it's not even loose its just big ol hips with lots of paddin.

I voted Ogre, but I disagree with the height assessments in the OP.

Comparing character models, Barbarians are a full head taller, probably more, than Humans. Barbarians are likely closer to 7ft tall.

Similarly, High Elves are noticeably taller than Half Elves who are noticeably taller than Wood Elves. High Elves are closer to Humans in height than they are to Wood Elves. If Humans are 6ft, then High Elves are probably close to that.
