[QUOTE="Particle_Man, post: 3429864, member: 892"] Add "enlarge person" to change your character's AC (because of size change), Damage (because of str change) and weapon base damage (1d8 becomes 2d6, for example). Luckily, the str bonus (adding to "to hit" and "to hit" size penalty cancel out when going from medium to large). If the attacker has been de-buffed (due to strength drain or gaining negative levels) that would affect the attack roll as well. (Or the attacker might be using weapon finesse in which case it is dex buffing and drain that would be the important factors for hitting the opponent, though str affect damage). The defender might have "protection from (attacker's alignment)" for an AC bonus, plus other defensive buffs. The defender might also have DR, which would subtract from attacker's damage unless the attacker can pierce that particular DR. Has either the attacker or defender charged? That affects the attack roll and AC. Is the attacker using divine power or diving might to buff himself? Did someone cast Greater Magic Weapon on his primary weapon? Was it already magical? Does the defender have barkskin or stoneskin on? There are a ton of magic items and spells that can affect stats numerically, and some stack and some do not. [/QUOTE]
