Does the size of your character influence its perfromance?, for example is a bigger target easier to hit, or does a taller bowman have a high chance of gaining critical hits?

I think it MAY have something to do with the area your hit, Dont quote me on it though.

I have my character on the shortest scale, and i rarely die

Even though I don't have proof, I'll guarantee that the size doesn't matter. It'd be a dumb feature for them to implement because it would be unbalanced and would require extra programming on their part (since I doubt characters have hitboxes in this game).

Size has no baring on anything but aesthetics.

Programming-wise it has no effect on your character performance. PvP-wise, size does have a slight advantage with targetting. Smaller character, harder to target. As a warrior, you would want to make your character larger, in an attempt to be a meat shield.
