Token Size refers to the standard sizes defined for each Grid Type. The sizes mostly apply to those tokens on the Token layer representing PCs and NPCs but can be used on any token no matter the layer.

Sizes and Scales

The Size is what is presented in the Size drop-down in the Edit Token dialog or the Size sub-menu of the right-click contextual menu of a token. Internally a scale factor is also applied and that factor is shown in the tables below.

The valid sizes for each type of grid are documented below, where Medium is always 1 full grid cell. The Scale is a multiplier for the size of the image after configuring it to fit within the stated footprint. For example, the Huge size on a square grid occupies a 3x3 cell area and the image is scaled (1.0) to exactly fit that area. But the Large size on a hex grid is 3 hexes scaled down 10% (0.9) so as to keep the image slightly within the border of the 3 cells. On Square Grids the sizes follow the D&D standard.
