With the various winged flights they talk about wingspan. How is wingspan defined in Pallidum? Is it centerline to wing tip or is it wing tip to wing tip?

Wingspan is always tip to tip.
However, with the HU super ability...the listed wingspan seams just a tad (quite a bit) too short.

That is why at one point I rewrote the power to better address the wingspan issue. The heavier a character is, the bigger a wingspan they need to get off the ground.

That is why I was wondering. The listed wingspans are small.

The game does not depict realism, it depicts superpowers, many of which are not realistic.

There are so many things other than just the wingspan that would make it impossible for a human to fly with wings sprouting out of their back like that - I don't feel that it is necessary to alter the wingspan for that reason. Super powers tend to ignore the laws of nature/physics anyway - they're just "super". I think the wingspans are scaled to "look" okay on a human frame, and so that it doesn't get too ridiculous trying to fold them away or function in the human world. That is fine with me!
But, obviously, change them if you like - just putting my opinion out there!
