[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 94336, member: 2011"] I do not disagree with what you stated. You are correct in your interpretation. I just think it is dumb. Alter Self as a second level transmutation spell can allow you to fly or even breathe underwater, but Enlarge does virtually nothing until the spell caster is 4th level and then it give +1 to hit and +1 damage. And that is all it does for an entire one minute per level (compared to the useful Alter Self at 10 minutes per level). To me, this is a waste. Not only because the spell is so wimpy, but also because a creature that has long enough arms SHOULD get reach. IMO. Reach should be a function of creature/appendage size, not a function of the description of a spell. In fact, Enlarge should increase base Speed and Reduce should decrease it. If you are 50% taller, you should also move 50% faster. But, like size, movement is a big disappointment in 3E. The Ancient Red Dragon takes a 5 foot step. Yawn. [/QUOTE]
