Message: <blockquote data-quote="Nareau" data-source="post: 989248" data-attributes="member: 969">The SRD lists several effects of animal growth (most of them dealing with the size increase).  Does it have any other effects?  In the MM, it has a chart for all the things that should change...including improved natural armor, dex penalty, etc. (things that aren't mentioned by the spell).{Edit:  In 3.5, druids will assume the type of the creature they wildshape into.}I'm asking this because I'm a little nervous about druids being able to cast the spell on themselves when they wildshape.  At 9th level, it looks like a druid will be able to become Huge pretty easily, and Gargantuan with the help of an Enlarge spell.  I fear the 9th level druid, 18HD gargantuan ape with 20' natural reach, Strength of 31, 2 claws/1bite at +18/+13, Damage of 2d6+10/2d6+5, +10 base Natural Armor (throw in Barkskin for another +4). I fear him even more when he picks up Exotic Weapon Prof: Gargantuan Spiked Chain, and his Wizard friend learns Shrink Item.I assume I'm doing something horribly wrong in this analysis.  If someone could pick it apart, and assure me that this will never happen, I would be very appreciative.  I'm thinking that even if I've made some mistakes, this will still be a pretty powerful tactic to consider.Spider</blockquote>
