Size/Height confusion
Request for clarity regarding Pixies and their stated height range. The existing sources from earlier editions are all cited as having their actual size in the 2 foot to 2.5 range, even though the artistic depictions of them from earlier editions are usually significantly smaller than that.

That height is still listed for them, with the older editions correctly cited, but the 5th edition manual, while not formally listing their hight in a table anyhwere, does describe them as being 'barely a foot tall', in the general flavour text for them, which runs against previous editions. Is there a solid consensus for what the average standing height of a pixie is intended to be? – 58.111.165.12 06:41, December 1, 2018 (UTC) Erica


 * Probably not, and there never will be. :) Changes like these are very common between editions. The FRW's policy is to retain the lore and details of each edition, while treating the details of the latest edition as a retcon or the latest version. So, from the POV of 5e, pixies are about 1 foot, and that's the current consensus, but they're still 2.5 feet for those working from an earlier edition.


 * Or the 1-foot-tall pixie is just a pixie child. :) — BadCatMan (talk) 06:56, December 1, 2018 (UTC)
