Message: <blockquote data-quote="Galfridus" data-source="post: 35037" data-attributes="member: 119">3E seems to have done...questionable things to the Enlarge and Reduce spells.The problems seems rooted in the fact that there are now concrete size categories with benefits and penalties for each. Enlarge is weird because you can end up with 12' tall characters who are still considered Medium size -- because making them Large size would be too powerful for a 1st level spell.It's on my to-do list to come up with more sensible versions of these spells. IMO, Reduce should alter your size category with all appropriate effects: increased AC and attack, decreased move and Str, the skill bonuses, etc. I don't think a one category size change would be abusive.Enlarge is a little tougher, since going up one size category gives you so much Strength. Might even become a higher level spell.</blockquote>
