[QUOTE="Hypersmurf, post: 2972254, member: 1656"] It depends on whether your DM considers magically changing shape into something that is larger than you to be a magical effect that increases size, or not. My feeling is that if a human turns into an ogre, that ogre (at size Large) is normal-sized; it is not under the effects of any magical effect that increases size. An ogre subjected to a magical effect that increases size would be Huge, not Large. Others feel that since you are normally Medium, and as an ogre you are Large, and that difference in size is due to a magical effect, that the Polymorph is a magical effect that increases size. I can see the arguments both ways, but I come down on the side of "Polymorph is changing you into a different creature, not altering your size... even if that different creature happens to be a different size to you". -Hyp.
