[QUOTE="Ridley's Cohort, post: 2055301, member: 545"] A lot of posters look only on the the upside. It is the usual grass is greener effect going on here. In spades. Forget for the moment how being an Animal Growthed Dire Bear looks in the spreadsheet. Let us consider the reverse: What happens to that Druid who does [i]not[/i] cast Animal Growth on himself. You are a 12th level Druid in a party of four. You wake up in the morning, prep spells, have breakfast, stretch, wildshape into a Dire Bear, and then meet a simple EL 12 as a warmup for the days adventuring. Let us keep this simple... You meet 12 Dire Bears. Your party wizard hangs back. Your Fighter squares off against 4. Your Animal Companion takes on 1. The fourth party member faces off against, say, 3. You, the big supertough overpowered Dire Bear Druid, take on 4. They churn you into a fine red mist within 5.2 seconds. Is that too powerful? [/QUOTE]
