Nah - the Kid hindrance is already painful enough with the drop in die 
types.  While they are certainly related, I wouldn't tack on a size drop as 
well.

Just for passive defense

2 to the total.

2 points.  Step drops almost always refer to the die type.  In this case it 
is referring to the fact that Pace is based off of Nimbleness.  So a d10 
nimbleness = a pace of 10, which would be dropped to 8 (d10 --> d8) for Hoss.

Yup.
