[QUOTE="Iku Rex, post: 2232250, member: 752"] The phrase doesn't make any more sense with another interpretation. It remains nonsense no matter how you turn it. If you want to focus on [I]intent [/I] rather than RAW then I suggest you ask yourself what kind of confused mind would convey "you can be any size you want " by writing "you can't be smaller than Fine" [the - by definition - smallest size possible]. It doesn't make sense. However, if you combine the phrase in question with rule carried over from alter self you get pretty much the 3.0 rule. This "intent" makes sense. Uh, yes, they did. [i]The new form must be within one size category of your normal size. [/i] -- polymorph, through alter self. I too can see how it [i]on its own[/i] could be read in either direction. Fortunately it's used in quite a lot of spells (example: [I]planar ally [/I] spells), and the PH (page 181, "spell chains") explains how spells like that are supposed to work. Even if there weren't other spell examples and a PH rule to clear things up, polymorph pretty obviously depends on alter self for a number of rules that aren't repeated. The only reasonable interpretation is that the alter self rules apply unless otherwise noted. [/QUOTE]
