The max body weights on the Race Weight Table show some values slightly off from the stated formula. For example Half-Elf base weight is 82 and weight factor 0.82, so with max STR/CON the weight should go up to 82 + (0.82 * 200) = 246 exactly without rounding, but the table shows 247. Is there a hidden factor? ZHOUY1 (talk) 16:45, 31 May 2018 (CDT)
