Hello Mr Boyd. I hope you are well.

I just noticed the walking statues of Waterdeep shrunk from 90 ft tall in 2e to 40 ft tall in 3.x City of Splendors: Waterdeep. Was this a design choice or typo?

Thanks in advance.

Someone will correct me if I'm wrong but if you compare most of the sizes between 2e and 3e (miles and population sizes, etc ect) they were all decreased to match the shrunken map they came up with for 3e faerun, I assume the statue shrinkage might be a symptom of that.

Well, you know it was very cold that day in Waterdeep when they did the measurements on the statues....

Steven
who prefers the 30-40 ft stature of them so they don't suddenly overpower all other buildings and make Waterdeep filled with way too many weird landmarks that dominate the skyline beyond all else

PS: I may be alone in this, but I'm of the mind that the damnable Walking Statues should have remained hidden away in the Astral or wherever Ahghairon stuck them for safekeeping, as they're absolutely a "Break Glass in Case of Kaiju Attack" sort of thing...even if I do understand they popped out due to Spellplague et al...
