I'm no LaTeX wizard, but this should work:
Look in whatever .sty file you're using
(this is from bk12.sty), and find a definition
that looks like this:
\def\@makechapterhead#1{ \vspace*{50pt} { \parindent 0pt \raggedright
\ifnum \c@secnumdepth >\m@ne \huge\bf \@chapapp{} \thechapter \par
\vskip 20pt \fi \Huge \bf #1\par
\nobreak \vskip 40pt } }
Change the "\huge" in the second line of that definition
to something like "\large" or "\Large".
If you include such a change in your root file,
make sure to surround the change with
\makeatletter
...
\makeatother
