Actually, the numbers chosen were completely arbitrary.  I would hope
that a SZ 4 gives better than a 2 skill bonus over an average size
(based on the difference between a 21 WT or WL and a 12 WT or WL), but
2 skills seemed like a reasonable underestimation.  Since I have no
data, and no real means of collecting it (thanks to RSI's cryptic
overviews and the luck factor), I didn't want to overestimate it.

Actually, I think that Crip mentioned my defensive ratings were off
by about 2-3 skills.  This seems more in line with what I would expect.

Absolutely.  One lunger I read about, who was SZ 21, got a 12 skill bonus
on his Init (the average is a 6 skill bonus).  Init and Attack seem
to be helped by a large SZ, while Defense and Parry are hurt by it.  The
relationship seems to be an inverse one: the more extreme the SZ, the
more extreme the bonus.

I happened to be running at the Isle and Primus when the growth potions
took affect, and the word was that the potion wouldn't hurt your defenese
(David - SZ 4 Basher - was happy to hear this), but I don't know what it
did to anything besides damage (which a certain SZ 23 basher named
The Big One loved).
