While I do know for a fact that Size gives a bonus to Init, and a
penalty to size (vv for low siz) I really don't think it has an effect on
Decise, attack parry and riposte.  Maybe a little on Attack & Decise, but
ceratinly not the defensive ones.  The only reason I think the other
defensive areas are better on smaller warriors is there tendency to have
more points to use in the areas which help those skill areas.

I believe a friend of myine raised SZ on his lunger from 8 to 11 or
somehting similar in the mid-range for stats, and he siad it had no effect
on his skills.  Mind you this guy also sent me a style list which had errors
in both my guys and an ally of mine that he didn't know I was allied with
(Basically a careless notekeeper)
