[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 97937, member: 2011"] Four reasons why I totally disagree with this: 1) Enlarge is an enlargement bonus. Bull's Strength is an enhancement bonus. So, they stack and it cannot make the other spell useless. 2) Enlarge lasts one minute per level. Bull's Strength lasts one hour per level. Hence, Bull's Strength is generally superior overall, regardless of the roll. 3) Enlarge increases your size by some percentage. Hence, if you are 50% increased for example, a lot of opponents would notice this and hence, they might attack or avoid you accordingly. In other words, it's tough to hide your increased strength. 4) Enlarge increases the mass of your equipment by 170% for a 40% increase in height and 30% increase in Strength. Hence, increasing Strength by 75% instead is not too far out of the ballpark since in a lot of cases, this will increase the load a category (e.g. light to medium). In other words, even at +1 per 10%, there is a detriment to being Enlarged. I really think that a worthwhile Enlarge spell will do nothing to the utility of a Bull's Strength spell. [/QUOTE]
