[QUOTE="Tormyr, post: 7259327, member: 6776887"] If that is the case, then this might be treated a little more like a polymorph rather than an enlarge. So a creature transforms into a hulk rather than "hulks up". This would mean that large creatures do not gain a size, and the bonus damage should not be increased for a large PC. It also makes the reasoning for a higher damage die for unarmed strikes easier. I think this might also be a good place to include proficiency with improvised weapons. The bonus action grapple / shove is as much for grabbing and repeatedly punching an enemy as it is for setting up attacks and throws with a modified level 14 feature. It may be more interesting to have jump become the level 10 ribbon ability. I guess I was visualizing something different. Rereading the level 14 feature, I understand it now to be that he basically hits them and they go flying. I was thinking about how the hulk uses enemies that are smaller effortlessly as weapons.

Once the hulk has a creature that is smaller, its resisting amounts to trying to escape the grapple or fighting back with a weapon or spell, but it is not really stopping any use of its body as a weapon.
