...Giving you such results as a 27kg, 60-cm Dwarf (2 feet, sixty-some
pounds - roughly) and a 1.8 meter, 81kg Dwarf as his brother. (Roughly
the same stats as an elf, that second one).

The first one isn't terribly believable, though - I'd hate to see a
full-grown Dwarf that size give birth. Incidentally, if you open up the
size table, you're bound to get players interested in the Variation
table as well - and the munchkins go wild for that +8 bonus to their
stats. (Who needs Priority A?) A bit more common sense, and a bit less
reliance on tables that don't apply.
