For simple QoL stuff, a size slider simply in Icon would be fine.
Rename tokens will simply be bought, if you put an adjective of size in your name and a resize affects it, then lol, your loss. basically
You're overreacting to the size & toggle Radius thing (which affects, erm, not that many sets), to be quite frank. But that aside, considering the implications (which elude me, though i remember this being discussed before), somewhat /signed (though in no way as you discribed it, thanks)
I would imagine AoE from charecters is calculated from origin point not 'furthest extent' could be wrong but thats the way I see it.
Back OT this is a great idea that has been discussed b4 but as NC 'inhereted' the code for the game from another company and it has been proven that even the 'internal' notes for certain effects (RE taunt) have proven to be false I doubt they are really going to tamper with the code that much to even attempt this at the moment.
Nice idea, given a little time it might even happen.
Frankly, if the engine could handle changes in size, I think it would have been done when the scaling sliders were implemented.

After posting bout possible benefits of having large or smallsized characters with different powersets, and the regrets that might come with it, with the fact that u cant change ur characters size post character creation, was thinking of a fun addition to the game. would it be either a item aquired or purchased at the black market, or perhaps a storyarc upon compltion unlocking access to a resizing chamber. With the now added feature of buying a renaming token for your characters, changing ur charactername to say Biggest Baddy, or Tiny Stomper etc, would now be an option, aswell as possible character changes ingame (thinking for roleplayers). anyway changing the size of your characher post character creation any way u would add it would be an awsome addition. for my character now for various reasons mostly how one of my powers function in aspect of my characters size, i have regrets about this, almost so as id want to restart it (at lvl42 now). wich saddens me. anyway be fun to se what replys i get out of this. sorry for my poor grammar spelling etc, its late here. cheers.
