    They can all be the same height and actually if you want to get into realism, something I dislike doing when discussing video games such as these, the smaller and lighter person has a better ability to jump higher while the taller and more massive person usually cannot jump as high in relation to their body type. However, the average point in space in which they reach is relatively the same as each other.

    It may look weird, but it actually is accurate in the real world. That is... if realism concerns you. If it's about the look of the jump being off in general then it just needs balancing. Perhaps they can make each race's jump animation unique and lalafell can do a small leap and shoot an aero spell to the ground to propel them further up. You can get creative with this to avoid people from thinking the physics are off, which they are not, but if they are this could be the way to go.

    Yep, most smaller things tend to be able to jump higher/farther for their size due to their construction and weight. Fleas can clear what is comparatively a skyscraper to them. Lalafell are tiny and have some SWOLE legs and get a heavy leg workout running around so they should be able to jump high =P
