You cause a creature or an object you can see within range to grow larger or smaller for the duration. Choose either a creature or an object that is neither worn nor carried. If the target is unwilling, it can make a Constitution saving throw. On a success, the spell has no effect.
If the target is a creature, everything it is wearing and carrying changes size with it. Any item dropped by an affected creature returns to normal size at once.
Enlarge. The target's size doubles in all dimensions, and its weight is multiplied by eight. This growth increases its size by one category-- from Medium to Large, for example. If there isn't enough room for the target to double its size, the creature or object attains the maximum possible size in the space available. Until the spell ends, the target also has advantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws. The target's weapons also grow to match its new size. While these weapons are enlarged, the target's attacks with them deal 1d4 extra damage.
Reduce. The target's size is halved in all dimensions, and its weight is reduced to one-eighth of normal. This reduction decreases its size by one category--from Medium to Small, for example. Until the spell ends, the target also has disadvantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws. The target's weapons also shrink to match its new size. While these weapons are reduced, the target's attacks with them deal 1d4 less damage (this can't reduce the damage below 1).

Posted Nov 21, 2019There are a couple ways to do this
If you take the spell "Find Steed" you can make any spell you cast that targets only you, also target your steed, you can do this with either 6 to 10 levels in bard (depending on subclass) or 5 levels in paladin, then multiclassing as a sorcerer or wizard for 3 levels.
Then if you get on your found steed, and Enlarge yourself, you can also enlarge your steed
Or, if you don't have find steed, you could instead do the twin spell metamagic on yourself and whatever mount you've got

Posted Nov 23, 2019why is there no higher level of this spell? it just feels like this one lvl 2 spell is the only way short of an incredibly rare module specific potion to get a cool effect but its durration is incredibly limmiting.

Posted Jan 21, 2020Unless you're using a mount from the Find Steed spell and you are the one that casts Enlarge. Find Steed allows any spell you cast that affects only you to also affect your steed. That would be pretty amazing.

Posted Jul 1, 2020If I cast this spell on myself as a gnome to enlarge myself, does it effect my movement speed? i.e. Does my movement speed go from 25ft to 30ft since I am now no longer a small creature while affected by the spell? if not, it's fine, but definitely something to think about.

Posted Jul 20, 2020I actually came to DnD Beyond looking for an answer to this question. I had proposed this to my DM last night, and he ruled yes, but I'm looking for what others would rule.
The druid in my party cast Polymorph on our party rogue, who was down to 4hp. Turned her into a Dire Mammoth (Gargantuan). I then cast Enlarge. Session ended there, so nothing fun has happened yet with that combo.

Posted Aug 8, 2020I wonder if I could use this on ranged ammunition as I throw it, essentially firing logs instead of arrows for more damage. Or throw a fist sized rock and turn it into a boulder. Or throw a sharp object into an enemy and then enlarging the object to essentially rip open the wound. So many possibilities!

Posted Aug 14, 2020Question if i enlarge a set of halfling-sized manacles and tie up a dwarf with it, then drop the spell?
Did the dwarf just lose his hands?
Object wasn't worn when i cast the spell...
Also what if a creature is carrying another creature? there are many creatures that like to swallow adventurers whole... All of a sudden the giant toad's acid reflux gets a little intense when he shrinks. Or the other way around, cast reduce on your centaur friend... Munch Munch, drop the spell.... Pop.
We need more clarity here!

Posted Aug 22, 2020If i reduce a canon ball so it fits into a musket, can fire it normally and end the effect on the way to the target? If so does it have the same range as the musket ball or does it drop suddenly? does it now do cannon ball damage?
