    This is the same type of post that Ilmater's Suffering did, but this time is about half-gaint.

    I want to know there age table. Thank you.

    EDIT :
    Ok, first I know that I should not double post, but I found the answer myself and I want to share it with everyone else so here is:

    Half-Giant

    Adulthood = 30 +3D6
    Middle Age = 60
    Old = 80
    Venerable = 120
    Maximum = +4D% (I don't understand this one)

    Height (male) 6'4" +2D12
    Weight (male) 220lb x (2D6) lb

    -----------------------------

    I have a question thought, and is that how do you figure the 3D6 or 4D%? :confused:

    :confused:

    have you ever played Monopoly or Yahtzee or...well, pretty much any board game involving dice? Those are d6's; three of them would be 3d6. d% is percentile dice, or a d100. You can either buy a $5 d100 (which I have), or use two d10's for the digits. It can also be simulated by using a random number generator most calculators have; just round to two digits.

    Alternately, here's some rolls specifically for your character:

    Age: 39 {2,2,5}
    Maximum age: 366 {77,32,53,84}
    Height: 6'11" {3,4}
    Weight: 1980 lbs. {5,4} ( :eek: Are you sure that calculation's right?!?)

    yeah, well that's the info under 3.5ED on Half-Giant, but on the WotC website they say that maximum is about 400lb. So I'm not sure why is (x); maybe is + and not x??

    Felinoid has nicely answered all your questions except the last. I can't give you an official answer but it makes sense to me that the weight is + not x.

    That would put the weight 220 + 2D6; example given 220 + 9 = 229. But my instinct tells me something is wrong.

    Where are 3.5ed people when you need them?

    Weight is proportional to height. I believe the weight's calculated by: 220 + [(2d12) * (2d6)].
