Your Size rating reduces the difficulty of hitting you with a ranged attack or spotting you when you're being stealthy (a negative Size makes you better at those things).

For contests of sheer muscle, the benefit/penalty is doubled, so a regular-sized mouse would roll at -8 while an elephant would be at +8. That's probably not enough of an adjustment to be truly realistic, but I don't want really big or small PCs to be too good or bad at stuff. They should all be fairly playable.
