Does the radius of the Spirit Guardians spell depend on the size of the caster?

The spirit guardians spell description states:




Spirits float around you up to 15 feet away.




Certain other spells like antilife shell state:




A barrier extends from you in a 10-foot radius and moves with you.




Does this mean the range of spirit guardians is affected by the size of the creature who casts it since they are up to 15 feet away from you? Or is the 15 feet based upon your centre of mass, so to speak?

    Note that the wiki you link to and quote in your question rewords spell and feature descriptions. Here are the official descriptions for spirit guardians and antilife shell. Specifically, spirit guardians says, "You call forth spirits to protect you. They flit around you to a distance of 15 feet for the duration." Does the proper wording answer your question? If not, you should edit the correct quotes into your question instead.

Yes, Spirit Guardians' area depends on the size of the caster



Spirit Guardians has a range of self and the area of effect is described:




They flit around you to a distance of 15 feet for the duration.




A distance of 15 feet is the same range that you could hit if you have 15 feet reach or a ranged weapon with 15 foot range. Unless you are using the variant facing rules you are assumed to have that reach in all directions from all squares that you occupy.



Therefore Spirit Guardians' area of effect is the area of a 15-foot reach from the caster. Assuming the caster is Small or Medium, this is slightly larger than a 15-foot radius, as it adds the square the caster is standing in. For a smaller creature that does not occupy a full 5-foot square, this is the same area as a 15-foot radius. For a Large or larger creature, the area is much larger.
