Possibly a Idiot.
I never really thought about how badly we needed a size between Medium and Large before. Like how Small is a size between medium and Tiny. The aside from tactical space, the problem with Large characters is that they get to use Large weapons, which are implied to do more damage than Medium-sized weapons.
As a solution to this, maybe they could work something out by reverse engineering the Bugbear's Large Limbs.
Like
Small Arms: Your arms are smaller than normal for a creature of your size, this means you wield and manipulate objects designed for creatures that are a size smaller than you.
Then there would still be the problem of that area of control, but I don't see how to fix that without introducing facing into 5e, which would likely cause more problems than it would fix.
