Questions about Expansion

[NCSUCodeMonkey]

I have two questions about the psionic power expansion. If these have already been answered somewhere else, then please point me in the right direction, I couldn't find them

1. Can the power actually change your size category? The description never says one way or the other, but if a decent sized medium creature manifested this power at say tenth level, it seems your size cat would change. However, your AC never changes, so I can't really tell if this is part of the power. I'm guessing the answer is no, because that would also indicate that your weapon size would increase into a different category (because the power does state that your equipment increases with you), and your reach would increase. This seems a bit much for a second level power (even though you would probably need to manifest at level 8-10 to get this effect).

2. I am assuming that the last paragraph of the power that says "multiple powers which increase size to not stack" would also include polymorph self, which would mean you cannont manifest the power on yourself while in a polymorphed form. Is that a safe assumption?

Thanks!

1- No size change from Expansion, Reduce or Enlarge. Why? Because it's magic. As you pointed out, that's a lot for a second level power.

2- I believe that's a reference to powers that change size, not Polymorph Self, which changes size class, a subtle difference. Thus, Expansion doesn't work with Enlarge, since they both change target size, but either works with Polymorph Self/Other, since it doesn't change the target's size (although it may change the target into a larger creature).

Hope that helps,
