stupid questions new player tiny poppet bonus / penalties

[Trueglich]

new player coming over from 5e
Just want to be sure The Str penalties and Stealth bonus i see on Tiny creatures rules DO NOT apply to Tiny poppets? Was making up a silly char Mr moss a wood Kineticist. My plan was using weapon infusion to make my melee reach to to normal range and then also getting Thorwn/Puplp str bonus on blasts?

I'm not sure what Stealth bonuses you are mentioning.

Size does not affect attribute bonuses such as Strength and Dexterity. It also does not affect damage of weapons.

There are some changes regarding the amount of space that you take up and which other creatures can share your space. And whether you are riding other player characters.

ya the thing i found i think was talking about monsters only or may have been 1e stuff hard to tell online.

Yeah, size did a lot more in 1e than 2e. This lead to people avoiding small options for like "characters who used weapons" which was something they wanted to avoid in 2e.

Mostly what size affects automatically in 2e is "reach" and "how many squares do you occupy."
