Is There A Spell That Makes You Colossal Size?

[Vuron]

Using the DMG magic item guidelines, this is what you get:

Ring of the Colossus - Once per day, the wearer of this ring can use a command word to grow to Colossal size, incurring all the ability score, armor class, attack and damage adjustments that come from such an increase. The ring must be worn for 24 consecutive hours before the magic can be activated.
CL 19th; Prerequisites: Forge Ring, giant size, caster level 19; Market Price: 47,880gp. Cost to create: 23,940gp and 1,915 XP.

Hrmm the potential power boost for a fighter with a colossal greatsword should make most DMs think very carefully before incorporating an item like this.

There is a feat that allows you to make a Personal spell affect another target with a 30 foot distance, I believe. Not entirely sure, I might be confusing it with a metamagic feat that lets you cast touch spells at 30 ft. range.

There's a spell in the Spell Compendium that turns you into a Warforged Titan, but I'm not sure exactly what size category that is.

I'm pretty sure it's smaller than Colossal, Dave.

Vuron,

Considering the market price, it's unlikely a DM would ever consent to a) put it in some crappy dragon horde (IE dragon lower than CR 18 anyway), or b) allowed it to be sold in the market place.

Possibly true but for roughly the cost of Ring of Greater Energy Resistance this provides a massive power boost in the hands of any melee type.

I've mentioned in many posts on ENWorld how the party tank in my now-Epic game long ago got himself a custom magic item that lets him use Giant Size 3/day. I can personally attest to the fact that a Colossal Fighter with 60-odd STR wielding a Colossal greatsword is indeed a thing of pure, sick cheese. He likes to Power Attack as far as he can and deal upwards of 150 damage per hit, whenever possible. Of course, I like to get revenge by throwing enemies at him with ACs so high he can't Power Attack and expect to be able to hit them. But anyway, it's not like the party casters aren't throwing around nukes at this level, themselves. So I just grin and bear it, usually.

I will note for the audience, however, that this did let said Fighter take on a Devastation Beetle at 28th level and win. The Acid meant nothing to him thanks to the Energy Immunity buff he had on, so it was out-and-out slugfest. Of course, the fact that he was using Spring Attack to get out of its reach helped a bit as well. Beetles don't have Fast Healing- and guess who did, thanks to another magic item?

I always wanted to make a Vanara (Monkey Race in OA) Shaman with the Giant Size spell. The OA shaman even gets watered-down martial arts abilities, making it that much easier to wrestle a overgrown lizard for a true King Kong impression.

But that's a CR 50 beastie! Holy Cow!

..depends on what you mean when you say the term "you." I can think of some from the book of V.D. that may work.

Wow, Kaiju shakedown!

Yes... well... apparently not in my campaign. Or, maybe my party is worth a hells-of-a-lot more than 28th level in ECL terms. Who knows? But for whatever reason, he did take it on, and even though the battle lasted many rounds (several minutes in fact, in game time)- he did win. He used his Giant Size ability more than once, of course- good thing for him that he had it more than once!

He's 30th level now. Sigh. What's a DM to do?

EDIT: Then again- it occurs to me that the Beetle is CR 50 in the same way that the Tarrasque is CR 20. A properly prepared group can smash it without thinking twice, and 50th level shouldn't be necessary. Feel free to run playtest combats against one yourselves, and see if you don't agree- consider all the spells mages have now that avoid SR, and factor in the fact that a fighter is involved who can use Giant Size 3/day and is a Greatsword specialist to boot. I'll bet the beetles won't last very long for anybody else, either. They may not be a "real" CR 50.
