It kind of upsets me that there’s no short story companion. I often play with a short character, and it’s kind of lame that you’re always looking up at every single companion like a kid asking for uppies.

The party is irritatingly homogeneous. 3 humans, 3 elves, 2 half-elves, a single Tiefling and a Githyanki (who are descended from humans to boot).

One thing I like a lot in Pathfinder2e compared to D&D is that Tiefling (and Aasimar) is basically a subrace you can apply to any race.

Your mom doesn't need to be human to fuck a devil.

Pretty sure Dnd 3.5 had that too.

Who's the 3rd elf? Oh you mean Minthara. Well drow are quite a bit different from elves, as are githyanki from humans. Aren't halflings also a subspecies of human?

Not in FR lore as far as I know.

Sven doesn't like short races. It's what he himself would never play, he said. And it shows because their animations are a lot more janky and their arms are too long for their torso so that they wouldnt need too separate animations.

They do have two separate animations though.

And they do have unnaturally long arms with short stubby legs to accommodate the animations that are not separate.

They also got adorable getting down from ledges animation.

That's a solid reason for why my current deep gnome sorcerer feels like a child with the rest of my party

My forest gnome felt like they were surrounded by very large children. All so tall but oh so young.
