How do I make a fat character?

[Masked]

It's nice that I can make everything under the moon, but how do I make a fat/chubby character?

Don't mean to complain, probably I just can't find the option but why is everyone seemingly included but I can't make an overweight person?

Not baiting or anything or trolling, just curious if I am doing something wrong or why it was excluded...?

[Lamp]

Just not able to :(

you can't be fat for lore reasons, Illithids wouldn't be able to kidnap a chubby person

welcome to woke world where you can be anything but fat and straight XD

[rattaplan2004]

You can't.

[Grimmsch]

There is a lack of body types.
Half-Orcs and Dwarfs can't even be muscular.
There is also a lack of voice sets.

[Synaptyc]

Nadda. You won't fit in the Illithid tube.

That's a little sad that I can't make an extension of myself, not that my body needed any more extending but it would have been nice.

[Crawling Chaos]

You can not. There are four body types in the game and that's it. Probably there is no fat body type because it would make too much work to make additional models for every armor for fat character.

This is the real reason.
Fat rigs are a lot of animation and texture work.

I feel like having a fat character would add to immersion. It would, of course, have to be implemented well. The fat character should not be allowed to put points into Constitution and should be locked at base level 8. Their jump should have shorter distance and if they can't make the jump over a chasm you just have to leave them there and continue the game without them.

Also, after travelling a certain distance on the map and every two turns in battle you should suffer "exhaustion" or at the very least "lethargy" like you do after using the "haste" spell while the character hunches over and catches its breath.

The amount of camp supplies needed for a Long Rest should be doubled if you made a fat character.

just wait for the balthazar body mod

How's a fat person going to be an adventurer running out of breath every time they use half their movement.
The kind of lives heroes lead just don't lead to obesity.

You can't. Despite BG3 being extra woke, it's very exclusive - no hero males or fat ppl.
