A question about Rightous Might (PHB, CLR 5 spell)
As noted in the description, it causes an increase in size by one step. The spell also lists all the things that change (Str, Att, AC, etc).
I am just wondering, however, why this size increase is not treated like a standard size increase? (More detailed chart in MM, p12 - same one referenced for the animal growth spell or something).
The way the spell reads, it differs from the chart in that:
It does not change Con, Natural Armor, Dex, Reach, and the Str change is a flat +4 rather than slightly more dynamic as is in the MM chart.
Or am I just missing something (i.e. some small exception that makes this spell that causes a size increase to work differently than all other size increases)?
Or maybe I am not reading the implied statement that tells me to just refer to the chart? (though that wouldn't explain the different Str enlargement bonus)...
Before I House Rule it to make it work like a standard size increase, I wanted to make sure I am not missing something.
Thoughts?
Edit: Dang, I thought I was putting this in the D&D Rules forum, not House Rules where it has now appeared. If a Mod sees this and can slide it over, thanks in advance!
