I could write several pages on why 6 sizes is insufficient to encompass the range of size among combat-worthy creatures in a (real or) mythical world.

I will sum it up thusly - you can easily fit more than 3 combat functional people in the space that an elephant fills.

I can go into much greater detail if you like, but I think that unless that point can be adequately discounted, then the premise stands.


(EDIT- Bear in mind, the size mechanic impact many other impacts of the game besides trampling, personally I think something like a range from 2-10 would provide greater functionality.)
