These ability bonuses and penalties are for designing your own monsters.Other considerations were greater hit points for larger monsters, but monster designers have already factored that in a lot of Bestiaries and Monster Manuals. Greater hit point damage already seems to be factored in as well. Larger weapons do 1d12.. etc..</blockquote>
