Hello players of Triskellian,
I am so glad to see such a wide array of characters in Ironclaw Online. There are players who use mood, style, speech and actions to portray very imaginative characters. Yet...

We must maintain the image that we are animals in human form. So certain guidelines exist to help keep that belief alive and strong. These guidelines are not only to help with your roleplaying but with others as well.

One particular issue that has arisen lately is the size of the character. This is not a new concern. Allow me to point you in the direction of this post (http://forum.skotos.net/showpost.php?p=654419&postcount=4) brought to you by your StoryHost.

You are of Human proportions. Keep that in mind. How extreme those proportions are can be completely dependant on your ability to roleplay and convince others yet they are within the average range of human proportions.

In Alpha, we had a player who made a sloth character (can't recall its name). He successfully convinced everyone that he was a Giant Sloth and was quite expansive in size. Yet he was merely the size of a large human. It was his roleplaying that made it fun and convinced others to participate.

Do not try to convince staff via loopholes and examples that people can be as short as 1.5 feet or as tall as 10 feet. We realize it is possible but it is also uncommon. We request that you abide by these guidelines.

Thank you.
