[QUOTE="Primitive Screwhead, post: 1877269, member: 20805"] [b]Transform...[/b] All the changes look good, altho I think Transform can still use a little more work. I would highly suggest using the MM rules for increases in size, and have the cost to increase be half the increase in strength. Flip the scale for a decrease in size. Here are the appropriate tables from the SRD: [code] Table: Changes to Statistics by Size Old* New Str Dex Con Nat Armor AC/Attack Fine Dimin Same –2 Same Same –4 Dimin Tiny +2 –2 Same Same –2 Tiny Small +4 –2 Same Same –1 Small Medium +4 –2 +2 Same –1 Medium Large +8 –2 +4 +2 –1 Large Huge +8 –2 +4 +3 –1 Huge Gargan +8 Same +4 +4 –2 Gargan Colossal +8 Same +4 +5 –4 *Repeat the adjustment if the creature moves up more than one size. Table: Increased Damage By Size Old Damage (Each)* New Damage 1d2 1d3 1d3 1d4 1d4 1d6 1d6 1d8 1d8 2d6 1d10 2d8 2d6 3d6 2d8 3d8 * Repeat the adjustment if the creature moves up more than one size category.
