So, dwarfism is done quite faithfully to the quarter and half chance that is noted here. https://dwarfparents.com/chance-having-dwarf-child Inherit chance is obvious, but what is Birth chance? For instance, the website says, "Approximately 1 in 25,000 (0.004%) chance of a child with dominant dwarfism."
 
If I recall correctly, it's how many out of 10.000 characters are randomly born with it.
My math is probably too intuitive to be of any use, but if I use 40, then that equals the same percentage that 1 out of 25,000 has. 40 out of 10,000 equal 0.004%. So using 40 would actually be better than 25 to represent the dwarfism science?
