Looking at the rules for determining the combat maneuver bonus in pathfinder, you get a penalty for being small and a bonus for being big. The bonus is exactly the opposite that you normally get for being big/small when rolling to hit.

However, you also apply any bonuses you get to hit to the CMB, so does that mean size actually has no effect on your CMB?

IE, you get a -1 to CMB for being small, but you get a +1 to hit for being small. Does that mean if you have no other bonuses or penalties, does a small creature have a CMB of 0?
