For one thing, when RJ revealed that Rand is 6'7", I was blown away. That's a ridiculous height, especially given the general nutritional knowledge, etc, of the people. It also means that Egwene and many others are basically staring at his belt buckle all the time. Characters would actually complain about neck pains, or would stand really far back from him.

I suppose I can pass this off, a little, but it's far worse when you consider Lanfear. She's supposed to be the most beautiful woman alive, but she's only slightly shorter than Rand. I have no issues with tall/taller women, but generally, women tend to look kind of ungainly once they're over a certain height. I find it hard that Lanfear's "spell of beauty" would be so inescapable if she were 6'6"... Of course, my sense of scale may be off, and my comments might be more appropriate to women who are closer to 6'9" and greater.
