[QUOTE="Maitre Du Donjon, post: 913040, member: 9645"] Thing is, in 3E sizes, you can't really be smaller than "Fine", and that everything smaller than a frog (i think the frog was the example of a "Fine" creature (whereas Alyssa Milano is an execption of another "Fine" creature, but i digress). Since the rat (Tiny) is one step bigger, it would be as if the Fine character would be fighting a Large Rat, which doesnt seem to work well when you compare a 1-inch tall human and a foot-long dirty stinkin' rat. the Reduce spell reduces height, mass and Str (to a minimum of 1). Height (size, in fact) affects Attack bonus positively while the Str reduction affects the Attack bonus negatively. The fighter will probably have the same Attack bonus, but will do considerately less damage. Unless the characters are very low level, dramatic size reduction shouldn't affect much their chance of survivability... They'll just be dishing out much less weapon damage... My2cents.
