[QUOTE="(Psi)SeveredHead, post: 6208646, member: 1165"] Enlarge Person cannot stack with itself, and Empower Spell does nothing for it. There is a Colossal Size (not necessarily exact name) spell in Oriental Adventures, which is pretty high-level (8th?) but doesn't give the full range of benefits of penalties. (Going from Medium to Colossal should give +32 Strength, but the spell gives a lot less.) Increasing your size to fight a kaiju is a very poor strategy. At best you're going to be limping from hit point loss at the end of it since the kaiju has an attack bonus of +77! Things like Mirror Image (a fighter mage?) won't help because the kaiju has Blind-Fight, so it can just close its eyes and kill him. The fighter will be taking penalties because there's no reasonable way to make the save versus Frightful Presence without using magic (so he'd have to use that). Freedom of Movement is mandatory because he can't make a grapple check of over +100. You shouldn't fight on the kaiju's terms; fly and keep hitting it with Scorching Ray (or whatever spells you need to bypass it's energy resistances, if it has any). Do it from long range because the kaiju has a pretty decent Jump check. [/QUOTE]
