Each race has a different size and shape of their people. Your size will
affect certain things in terms of gameplay such as items that you will be
allowed to wear, success in fighting a particular opponent, skills such as
disarm, shock, trip, sweep, etc. Items also have a size, and you may find that
some items are too large or too small for you to handle effectively. You
can change up to 3 sizes larger or 3 sizes smaller with the enlarge and
reduce spells.

For every size point above size 10, you have a penalty of 4 AC, 0.5 hitroll
and a bonus of 0.5 damroll. For sizes lower than 10, the effect is opposite.
So for example if you are size 6 you get a bonus of 16 to your base AC, +2
hitroll and a -2 penalty to damroll. A size of 12 would be a -8 penalty to
AC, -1 hitroll, and a +1 bonus to damroll.
