Have been scurrying the internet for any official ruling or clarification for the Enlarge/Reduce spell. No luck for me. Anyone who knows if there is one?
Otherwise any tips or thoughts on how to handle how large a creature or object can be to be affected by the spell and whats defines a object.
What are you looking for as far as an official ruling? I don't see any big ambiguities.
As far as a large creature being affected by this spell, just follow the rules in the spell. It doubles in all dimensions, weight is multiple by 8, size goes up one level (large to huge or whatever it is), and extra damage.
An object is any single discrete thing. A sword, a lamp, a shirt, etc. Definitely not things like a house or a forest. Some of this is a bit arbitrary, but I bet there's a good rule to apply that you could tell your players if they ask.
Edit: here's the rule for an object, "For the purpose of these rules, an object is a discrete, inanimate item like a window, door, sword, book, table, chair, or stone, not a building or a vehicle that is composed of many other objects."
I just got a bit thoughtful when i realized the possibilities. Like shrinking gargantuan monsters and grapple them with Bigby's Hand. It felt just a tad OP.
The definition for a object clarifies things. No shrinking battle ships, houses or such. :-)

Combining 2 concentration spells is usually OP, that is why they are concentration.

You can, if there is two casters.
I didn't say you couldn't. But 2 characters combining efforts is justified some broken stuff.
Earth is an object, cast enlarge on it, make it have 8 times more mass, crushing every living creature on it by its own weight due to gravity
Earth is a combination of many objects, most of which are out of range.
Pretty sure there is a different (slightly more recent) thread about targeting the planet.
