Enlarge Spell

[prophet]

If you are say, 6'6" and a mage casted enlarge spell on you and increased your size by 10%, now you become 7'3"ish.

Does that increase your size category to LARGE and by doing that also, does that give you reach?

Anyone can support this either way?


Thanks,

Enlarge never increases your size catagory.

 

[prophet]

So if your size increases to meet the next height level for the next size category, your arms don't grow to porportion and give you more "reach"?

(Not trying to be anal.)

The ruling is what the sage said. Basically, your size might technically be in the next size catagory, but you do not count as it. It would be too powerful for a first level spell if it did IMO.

From the Official D&D FAQ, p. 53:

If a dragon casts enlarge on itself and it grows enough to
qualify for the next size category, does it get the damage
ratings for that size? What about other dragon powers?

An enlarge spell cast on a dragon works like an enlarge spell
cast on any other creature. The dragon gets a +1 bonus to
Strength for every 20% of enlargement. It gets no other benefits
from the spell.

Remember that the bonuses shown from an effective size increase always assumes a doubling of the creature's original height.

For further analysis of the enlarge spell I reccomend this essay: www.superdan.net/dndmisc/enlarge.html

Heh. The title of this thread is misleading; it sounds like a Metamagic Feat...

As a general rule, spells never do more than they say. Don't try to extrapolate other effects. Doing so makes the game far more complicated that it is worth. Enlarge does only what it says it does...increases the subject's dimensions by 10% per level, max 50% and gives a +1 bonus to strength per 20% growth. That's it.

I have a very helpful little house rule for Enlarge which works very well, if you are interested...
