My take is that the penalty is applied not to abilities, but attempts to use them. So a big person is still large 1W, but if he tries to use his size to overtun a boat in a hostile otherworl he'll have trouble doing so.

For otherworld beings in the mundane world penalties are often figured in (and might I suppose, reflect a genuine reduction in some abilities).
