Message: <blockquote data-quote="iamtheend" data-source="post: 5305116" data-attributes="member: 94031">I was planning on using Expansion and having the weapon grow to a Large size category. I had no idea there were rules for a Goliath (Monstrous Humanoid) so he couldn't grow bigger. I had planned on using Animal Affinity to boost my Dex after I grew big to make up for the Dex modifier being lowered.I hadn't considered tactical feats mainly because of Dodge and Mobility being prerequisites but the benefits that were described seemed pretty great.I am definitely planning on taking Exploit Adjustment in order to negate people 5 foot stepping toward me.I originally wanted to use a Glaive with a feat that allowed me to hit adjacent targets and also take the knock-down feat. I would do enough damage and gain the bonus to tripping from Improved Trip and powerful build to usually overcome anyone I hit. From that point on I slam them hard again when they stand up and wait for them to try and move toward me and send them on the ground again.I am on the wire on Spiked Chain over Glaive.EDIT:ExpansionPsychometabolismLevel: Psychic warrior 1Display: OlfactoryManifesting Time: 1 standardactionRange: PersonalTarget: YouDuration: 1 min./level (D)Power Points: 1106CHAPTER 5POWERSThis power causes instant growth,doubling your height, length, andwidth and multiplying your weightby 8. This increase changes your sizecategory to the next larger one. Yougain a +2 size bonus to Strength, a –2size penalty to Dexterity (to a minimumeffective Dexterity score of 1),a –1 size penalty on attack rolls, and a–1 size penalty to Armor Class due toyour increased size.If your new size is Large or larger,you have a space of at least 10 feet anda natural reach of at least 10 feet (seeTable 7–1, page 314 of the MonsterManual). This power doesn’t changeyour speed. If insuffi cient room isavailable for the desired growth, youattain the maximum possible sizeand can make a Strength check (usingyour increased Strength score) toburst any enclosures in the process.If you fail, you are constrained withoutharm by the materials enclosingyou—you cannot crush yourself todeath by increasing your size.All your equipment, worn or carried,is similarly expanded by thispower. Melee and projectile weaponsdeal more damage (see Table 2–2,page 28 of the Dungeon Master’s Guide).Other psionic or magical propertiesare not affected by this power. Anyaffected item that leaves your possession(including a projectile orthrown weapon) instantly returnsto its normal size. This means thatthrown weapons deal their normaldamage (projectiles deal damagebased on the size of the weapon thatfired them). Multiple effects thatincrease size do not stack, whichmeans (among other things) thatyou can’t use a second manifestationof this power to further expandyourself.Augment: You can augment thispower in one or more of the followingways.1. If you spend 6 additional powerpoints, this power increases your sizeby two size categories instead of one.You gain a +4 size bonus to Strength,a –4 size penalty to Dexterity (to aminimum effective Dexterity score of1), a –2 size penalty on attack rolls, anda –2 size penalty to Armor Class due toyour increased size.2. If you spend 6 additional powerpoints, you can manifest this poweras a swift action instead of a standardaction.3. If you spend 2 additional powerpoints, this power’s duration is 1minute per level rather than 1 roundper level.This power doesn't specify the target having to be "Humanoid" at least I don't see it. So is this an exception?</blockquote>
