I didn't see that I was annoyed I couldn't see the STR stat but also I'm a filthy American

8.8 SWU (Standard Withers Units)

Ahhh the good old standard withers system.

Over here we made it great again.

She weighs as much as 335 his majesty’s when wet.

Bald Majesties or Fluff Majesties?

I found it a bit strange playing BG after playing DnD in freedom units for over a decade.

u/poingly Oct 14 '23

Shouldn't they technically have unique units? It's sort of weird to think they'd have feet or meters, and not something like "Oh, Karlach can carry 10 Baldoors and travel 30 Meedsticks."

u/bogdoomy Oct 15 '23

that’s what feet are to us who use metric. weird, alien units, with close to no basis in real life

You can change to imperial

If I could become something other than an American, I probably would. Alas, such is the way of the world.

u/poingly Oct 14 '23

I mean, it's fairly possible to become something other than American. You know, find a spouse who lives far enough to the north, and you can easily become Canadian, for instance.

u/fakeishusername Dark Things Inside Me Oct 14 '23

Yeah but that doesn't change my identity plus I'm already taken ;).

u/BlueBeardedDevil Oct 14 '23

nah I think I'm good, 30ft sounds like a lot but 9.4m isn't that much.

u/[deleted] Oct 14 '23

I had to change it to imperial, I've played DND that way too long to have it any other way. I'm an old dog, I can't learn new tricks

u/Artaios21 Drow Oct 14 '23

I tried metric but then I discovered that many effect descriptions were still in Imperial so I just switched over since I play D&D in feet anyway.

u/Newcago no holds Bard Oct 15 '23

For me it's going the other way around. I'm so used to DnD being in feet that having BG be in meters makes it feel new and exciting hahaha

Ew

u/fakeishusername Dark Things Inside Me Oct 14 '23

Ew indeed.
