Unlike 99% of female monks, mine is as tall as possible instead of as small as possible. She also rejects the Path of the Headbun.

All my newer characters are shorter than average. My old Prophesies elementalist was at almost maximum height and I never liked how she looked until I gave her a Sunspear dress. But, before doing that it felt as if it was the height that was the problem - she seemed stretched, so I made all my characters after her ultra short, which made them appear to have normal body proportions.

In fact, before I switched her outfit to Sunspear, I had neglected the character and made a new elementalist from Nightfall in her place. Now, one is in an Istan dress and the other a Sunspear dress, and I like the look of both.

But I still stick to short for the body scale of my characters.

I don't see why everyone has max height. How unoriginal. Especially for sins, the shorter the better. They need to be light!
Like I said, I'm not found of freakishly tall characters, but I don't see how you can call them unoriginal, and then praise the tiny monks. Which again, just look creepy.

She's also a pain in the neck to sync with. =(

I honestly forget about that.
I haven't adjusted any characters heights.

Also, I noticed that A TON of people make small female monks.
Is there some kind of evil plot taking place?
I think there is.

All characters, male and female, are minimum height.

That's one of my account rules. The only time I made a character tall was when I wanted to make a huge male warrior for using a hammer in PvP. Hulk smash!

For every character I create, I always make them 2 "ticks" below the median for their gender/class. Dunno, just a weird habit/preference.

Scale is somehow important to me and I often redo my chars after a check of their scale in comparision to others in the first outpost of a campaign. The irritating thing is that scale is dependend on class and gender. So its of no use to stick to a certain scale. Nice would be a possibility to check against your own other chars.

Btw, possibly Anet misinterpreted the redoing of a Nightfall char as exploiting the rewards of the first quests/mission? See http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Game_updates/20070802

For some reason, female monks are the smallest. I did that too and didn't find it nice to see my monk looking like a little girl running to save the world so I deleted her.

With my other chars, I tried to match their professions with their heights to give a sense of role playing; ele-> average, assassin->below average

My monk is min height, because I just like how tiny she is, and how 'different' it is The rest of my chars besides my ranger and necro are max height, my female mesmer is especially tall.

Was not a mistake.

And Chicken, mini monk isn't very 'different' as you say.

with 27 characters, uhm, I dont remember....though I do remember my first necro was the tiniest as was one of my monks and my latest ranger....made my first mesmer really tall, uhm thats about all I can remember. I usually dont keep the original size, I either move it up a bit or down just to be a little different from everyone.

My ranger is just 1/15th taller than the shortest. My monks are 13/15, 12/15, and 2/15 tall. Necromancer is the shortest possible and Ritualist is the tallest possible. All of my characters are female.

Huh... don't remember the exact scaling I used for my chars, but it probably goes like this...

Necro (male): 9/15 or 10/15
Derv (male): 13/15
Ranger (male): 12/15
Ele (male): 12/15
Monk (male): 9/15? O_o
Monk (female) maybe 3/15; not a mini (minimum heigth) monk, for sure. Too many of those.
Warrior (male): 14/15
Warrior (female): 6/15 or so
Paragon (male): 13/15
Ritualist (male): 13/15
Mesmer: (male): 12/15 or 11/15
Assassin (Male): 4/15? (based off a small video game character already x])

You get the point; I like tall male characters.

I have a medium sized monk. Tiny monk girls feel too intimidated by Olaf.

On the other hand: I once had a warrior that was supposed to be a "petit Napoleon", but he still looked bigger then most other characters.

Warrior- Just a few ticks above average (made in my own image!)
Monk- A few ticks below average.
Ranger and Sin - A tick above average.
Mes - A tick below.

I make most of my characters slightly above average, but not noticibly. I like to think that they are slightly imposing, but not stupidly large, though I do make PVP wars as big as possible (RAWR!)

I don't get it? Asian women are short? Lol, stereotyping much?

Where ever it was when I made my character. I don't really care how tall or short my characters are so I always leave it on default.
