Title of Suggestion: Add Height and Weight to Character Menu
Description
In the character menu, give the ability for the user to change the height and weight of their character. This could be done via a slider, or numerical values.
In practice, this would just scale up or scale down their character using existing functionality.
For example, the default for a male would be 6", 160 lbs, at a player model scale of 1. If the player increased their height to the next notch, 6"1, their player model would scale to 1.05x (or appropriate), and 5 lbs (or appropriate) would be added to their weight. Conversely, their high would be increased if they increased their weight.
This would mean that weight and height are related.
If you wanted to extend this, you could also include a dropdown where you can choose the body type, such as 'lean', 'average', 'muscular', 'overweight', which would add on or remove a fixed weight. Of course, this would just be a change to the numbers, rather than a player model change, unless anything could easily be done in this respect.
This information could appear when you hover over another player, or be automatically added to their description.
Min and max height for player models could be around 5"5 - 6"3 respectively.
Perhaps larger players could have a slight boost in hp, and smaller players a hp reduction, to account for any advantage in aggressive rp.
Why?
Enhances the variety of people you see on the server, and makes the world feel more alive. Also great for people who enjoy creating different characters.
Also, the ability to scale/descale is already in the GM, so I believe this could be a minimal change.
