[PnP] Size

[Sylverrs_ dragon]

Another note. Where an encounter can include children of the race, their 
size factor will be ONE less than the adult form IF the adult size factor is 
1-3. If it is 0, the size factor is unchanged. If it is 4 or more, the size 
factor is 1/2 the adult form (RU). Think that's about it for this idea. 
Whatcha think??
