Charr Height and Weight?
They are probably slightly under 6 feet tall. They seem really big because of the width of their shoulders, but the digitgrade feet actually take off several inches of height.
However, they are (from what I’ve noticed) normally taller than humans. So if we take the base human height as somewhere between 5-6 feet, I’d say the charr are somewhere around 6-7. I’m not sure what the shortest charr looks like next to the tallest human (there’s a picture out there somewhere…)
Ok, scratch all that, here’s a page. http://www.guildwarsinsider.com/in-game-character-heights/
Looks like charr go from 5 ft. even to almost seven. Humans go up to 6’ 3". All the other races are there as well.

Wow thanks Rorc, I stand corrected. That height i much better sounding.
Now to figure out the weight.

The average human male is slightly under six feet tall. But the average charr is head and shoulders above the average human male, and a big one twice that. So no, except for short charr, they’re way taller then 6 feet.

I don’t think this is quite accurate, judging from the in-game charr. They’re definatley larger then that.
I would guess that the average charr is about 7 feet in height. They probably range from 5.5 feet to 9 feet.

Yeah that sounds about right. In the GW2 book (Edge of Destiny) I read that the average char was about 500 pounds. So being about 7ft average sounds a lot better.
One thing to keep in mind is that the charr slouched position makes them look half the size of what they actually are. You need to do /salute/ to actually get a good scale. The first time I used /salute was a real eye-opener for me.
When I did, I had go and find the tallest norn NPC I could in the Hoelbrak just to /salute next to them. And my shoulders came up a good way above theirs. Actually half way up their head. So when a charr is standing upright, they’re bigger than the tallest norn.
It’s their slouching that can really throw off estimations of their height.
