1596, thoughts on enlarge and reduce
Posted by incognito on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
Shouldn't these affect your weight?
i.e. if you enlarge, your gear weighs that much more. If you reduce, it weighs less.
This has implications for bash, disarm, etc.

No.

So a 2 pound belt shoudl weight different if a gnome wears it or a giant wears it? It's still a 2 pound belt.

Size already has implications for bash.

1609, a 2 lb belt might fall off if it doesn't get smaller

but since both gnome and giant can wear it anyway, I guess that's where we suspend disbelief.
However, should reduced giants be able to wear giant only gear, or enlarged gnomes gnome only gear?
Just a thought. Not really suggesting anything changes.

In my opinion, it would be a large change for an effect that doesn't add much (and would subtract in many ways... I enlarge you, and now you can't pick up disarmed weapons because your gear weighs 600 pounds) to game play.

If you grow a size your max strength should also increase, which would offset the increased weight from your gear.

1606, I thought of that, but there is more to it

There's also the issue of whether a reduced guy can bash as well as before he reduced, weightwise.
ie two giants reduce should bash each other less effectively than 2 giants enlarged, maybe.

1600, I disagree.

It's easier to explain it with changed volume/maintained weight. Aka the density changes.
Why change what is not broken?
