And what about Large 5W, if the player decide to call it that ? I wouldn't consider it as saying that the character is big as an horse...

Well, I don't have a clear idea. (And none of the PCs in my group have anything resembling size IIRC). I was just trying to understand this particular point of rule.
For me, any ability represents 'how well you know to use this'.
So Strong 5W means you have learnt to use your strength particularly
well, and Large 5W also (to get leverage, use your weight or
whatever).
I'd the impression that was more or less the case for any ability, so
why a strictly defined sense for Large, using it as a SIZ rating in RQ
?
Not that it changes anything in particular during play.
Well sorry if I cannot explain it any better. I never really thought
about this abilty before.
