CLASS affect CHARACTER LOOK

Level 50 fighter should look more muscular than a level 1.

Actually one of the reasons I like the idea of 'Exhaustion' in the game is how it can specifically affect the way the player gains stats and changes their appearance. Closer to exhaustion and more often, with more food, the greater muscle gain; since that's how muscle increases.

It should boil down to whether your head is big enough to be a level 50 Wizard, and whether your muscles are big enough to be a level 50 Fighter. Minimum thresholds.

Unarmed fighter? Big hands. Carrying big backpack everywhere with 100 lbs in it? Larger frame.

If you start with an anorexic Fighter or Tank and another person starts with the buffest possible Fighter or Tank; the buffest should become buffer probably through definition and ridiculous levels of buff; while the anorexic person reaches good but not crazy levels of buff.

Haven't eaten in days while hiking marathons with 200 lbs of stuff on? Lose some weight.

Wizard? Big head, facial hair. Ranger? well-rounded and broad back, broad waist too. Rogue? Lean and mean. Darker or more 'charismatic' look. Necromancer? Pale. Cleric? More balanced features I guess. Bard? Warm complexion.

Sure seems like you are.

If you do some basic reading on macrocephaly, you'll see that people with larger heads are more susceptible to having neurological deficits.

I mean, it's not like peoples heads expand as they learn more.

Your whole premise here can basically be reduced to "I have a world view that is incorrect but I am standing by it, and I wish to force it on to everyone else, what each of you want can be damned".

So no.

You made the generalization that smart people have bigger heads. You rambled something about chess grandmasters.

Macrocephaly is the condition where a person has a larger than average head (97th percentile, iirc). I bought it up to point out to you that a larger head is not at all a sign of higher intelligence.

Basically just trying to point out to you that the generalizations you seem to espouse are fundamentally incorrect.

I know it's a futile effort - trying to convince you that you are wrong about something, but I'm still kind of hoping you'll ignore me as you have proclaimed.

Who made a generalization? Do you know what a generalization is?

You did, I said that above.

You said it but it isn't true. Are you trying to waste my time?
