Default Which Race has the Highest BMI?

Keep in mind the BMI formula is Body Mass Index = Weight / Height-squared.

Ogres are nine feet tall, trolls eight, hum/barb/eru are six, half elf 5'6", wood/dark/high elves five, dwarf four, halfling and gnome three.

Please post your reasoning for your pick.

Many people criticize BMI for not taking into account people with very low body fat percentage vs. muscle as muscle is pretty heavy, so you can account for that in your estimations.

I’d say that if we are talking BMI, it has to be ogre with dwarves being a close second. They have a similar silhouette, but ogres look like they have a bigger gut and thicker arms. Trolls have a big gut and a booty, but they have skinnier arms and legs.

i vote troll.

they seem way more fatty (as their rSTRNG is lower than ogres)

i assume ogres are mostly muscle.

i think BMI's account for muscle mass (when they pinch your skin with that machine/device when you get your BMI)

Yup ... as long as we're not talking about the travesty of a model that was the Luclin Troll ...

halflings are actually pretty strong (muscle)

lets talk about it, were they extremely obese and just lost a lot of weight but never got any help with the miles of loose skin and such? whats going on here

I feel like/felt like a troll and if i went down to the weight i want, morbidly anorexic, i would look even more floppy

do u think the troll suit is some inherent designers bias against ppl with obesity/anorexia/body image issues? or did they just try to make a horrific terrfying fantasy trope (the swamp troll) into something palatable, but created the disaster which it was.
