Enlarge non-humanoid?

Wishes and miracles help too.

Frankly, is someone going to be happy if the minotaur has a potion of bull's strength instead? Or divine favor? How about a troll with a potion of protection from energy?

Divine favor is personal. Most reading of the rules for potiojns prevent those in potions.

Bulls would help the to hit better, enlarge adds more damage and reach at the expence of 2 pionts of AC and to hit with ranged weapons. Monsters have "to hit" to spare.

You mean Protection from Energy[fire] or Protection from Energy[acid] right?

When you create a potion, you make any choices that you would normally make when casting the spell. Whoever drinks the potion is the target of the spell.

Potions are like spells cast upon the imbiber. The character taking the potion doesn’t get to make any decisions about the effect —the caster who brewed the potion has already done so. The drinker of a potion is both the effective target and the caster of the effect (though the potion indicates the caster level, the drinker still controls the effect).


On the most part, Enlarge is balanced at 2nd level provided polymorphing to a larger form counts as a 'magical increase to size'. Heck, I say drop enlarge person at first and just make reduce and enlarge 2nd level spells that effect all type creatures [also do away with that clunky '1 full round casting time'].

Right on the potion thing. Divine favor was a bad example; heroism or haste, then. In general, I'd expect a troll would get more use out of a resistance to fire, but it's not a given.

Unless said troll is already immune to fire and acid.

Surely no DM would EVER dream of throwing an anarchic half-dragon (red) troll at a party.

It's happened before .. and will happen again, I'm certain of that, knowing some of the things my DM comes up with.
'Sides, is that much worse than a red dragon immune to cold?

 

[Question]

Yea the red dragon is killable.

....that is to say "doesn't regenerate". Right, question?
