Here's a weird question...
The Oni's Shape Change ability reads as follows: "The oni magically polymorphs into a Small or Medium humanoid, into a Large giant, or back into its true form."
Emphasis mine.
Let's say that an Oni had infiltrated a Duergar society. It can easily polymorph into a Duergar... and it's natural shape is large... could it not then, also mimic the Duergar's ability to Enlarge? By the RAW this seems to not be the case, as an Enlarged Duergar is still a humanoid, not a giant, but I also can't seem to figure out a reason why this shouldn't work as intended. I'm curious what y'aa folks think.
