Converting Greyhawk monsters

We could borrow this precedent as well:

Size Change (Su): At will, spriggans can change their size in a fashion similar to the effect of an enlarge person spell. The size change from Small to Large gains +8 Strength, -4 Dexterity, +6 Constitution and -2 attack bonus and Armor class. A spriggan's short sword has the same attributes as a Large short sword when enlarged. An enlarged spriggan is unable to make a sneak attack or use its spell-like abilities.

It's a good idea changing the name from Enlarge, since that's used for a spell, but I'd like to keep my previously proposes stat changes (+4 Str and +1 NA) and just swap the name.

Shall we use Size Change or Increase Size?

There's also the efreeti's SLA

Change Size (Sp): Twice per day, an efreeti can magically change a creature’s size. This works just like an enlarge person or reduce person spell (the efreeti chooses when using the ability), except that the ability can work on the efreeti. A DC 13 Fortitude save negates the effect. The save DC is Charisma-based. This is the equivalent of a 2nd-level spell.

However we go, shouldn't the advancement go as usual (-2 Dex, +2 Con, +2 NA, -1 size modifier, advanced damage)?

Funny that the other "detect hostile intent" critter was also canine.

I don't fancy increasing the Con (so we don't have to change its HPs and Fort save) but I'd be OK with the Dex and NA adjustment.

Urk, I prefer the standard ability...

 

[Shade]

Yeah, let's stick with the standard size boost. Why reinvent the wheel?

Because it's there!

To get to the other side?

See Shade, looks like you're outvoted two to one.

I'm not even sure what we were discussing at this point!
