The relic ones are taller than a Lalafell. It also seems the trope of muscle bound brute is coloring perspectives of what races belong to what class.
Humorously, both my main characters fall into both spellcasting Hellguard and Ninja Hellguard. In the case of the spell caster, I consider him fit and muscular, but not a hulking mass of strength (still stronger than a Highlander but certainly not the strongest Reogadyn in any way). I would assume that the more complex and intense magic would also take a considerably physical endurance. My Ninja (well I am not sure how 'ninja' he is, still debating that) is a typical large Roegadyn but slightly more lithe in comparison to bulging muscles that a typical axe wielding Seawolf but certainly is not lacking in strength.
Sheer size really doesn't restrict the ability of a character or (someone IRL) from being flexible, nimble, or intellectually focused.
Oh, I'm not saying people SHOULDN'T be allowed to be RoeNinja. I'm personally just finding it hard to get over visually. If there were a few more options of body style then it'd be simpler for me to navigate. And I haven't played the combination, but have seen it in action on the field.
Again. This is all a personal failing of perception and my own admitted inability to write a Roegadynja compellingly. I even said so in my first post:

Highlights added for emphasis. If you can pull this off, then that's awesome. Matter of fact I'd ask for tips. :3
