Chances are regardless of how much balancing they do Lalafells will look like circus midgets when they jump or taller races will look like they are just "High stepping" over fences.
    Honestly, I think this idea of it needing to be 'fair's just a reflexive assumption. If it's to be added, why shouldn't it be different between each race? You could take the same logic would demand all races jump equally high and run with it right up to total equipment and class homogeneity.

    Hell, you could even vary it by class (or armour choice?). Say.. Paladins/heavy armour(+small/large/otherwise stubby-legged races?) have the lowest jump proficiency and the assumedly eventual Ninja/Dancer classes and/or those wearing tighter cloth gear the highest?

    'Might add an interesting twist to its implications for gameplay.
