    I'm sorry but you're comparing humans of varied heights and similar physical aptitude to races of massively varied height, mass, musculature and even anatomy. Lalafell leg musculature in proportion to body size is significantly lower than that of a Hyur. They would - if we're going to make the iffy decision to make this argument about real world physics - have a lower jump height. Roegadyn on the other hand have extremely strong legs but a great deal more mass - they'll probably jump about the same height as a Hyur would. Mi'qote meanwhile have about the same proportionate leg musculature as a Hyur but lower mass, they'd probably jump a bit higher in general. Elezen probably a bit higher, too, by similar logic.

    So .. your logic almost holds up, though not quite by the reasons you offer. It falls with Lalafell, however, who - when you take anatomy into account - would probably have a lower jump height even than had you simply reduced the height they can jump by their comparative height beside a Hyur.

    And was there really need for that needly little line on the end? Can't anyone here at least try to present their thoughts without having to make a stab at someone?
