Body Size

Currently working on this for a mod. Shameless plug: https://discord.com/channels/187414758536773632/1130967146931961876

• All agents have a body size, which is randomly determined but partly based on classes. Scientists tend to be dweeb-shaped. Cops are uh... stout. Upper Crusters tend to be tall.
• Body size affects almost all stats, but at a lower level than most traits. So they won't outweigh traits, but they can generally break a tie.
• All body sizes have their own up- and down-sides. Tiny characters make the best thieves; Don't try to run from the Lanky supercop; Rescue that because he's Massive; Slum Dwellers are malnourished and make for poor muscle; etc.

Result: More visual and roleplay variety, plus a new gameplay tension of choosing allies and enemies.

Why he not actually short

Good catch, maybe the scale is reset while they're sleeping 🤔

this is a cool concept, though i wish it was more visually obvious? like the Thin Clerk does not look much different to me than the rest..maybe its a clothing issue or something, idk

and bouncer should be fat like a potato or like this emoji

[runic sage]

Yeah it's really kind of a bad pic, I'll get some better ones
