Effect: This spell allows the wu jen to assume truly gigantic proportions.
As soon as the spell is cast, the wu jen
must make a system shock roll. If the roll is failed, the character permanently
loses 1 point of Constitution.
The spell causes the wu jen to instantly
grow, adding a height of 3 feet for every level of experience.
An 18th-level wu jen would be about 60
feet tall and a 29th-level wu jen would stand a colossal 93 feet tall.
The Strength of the wu jen increases proportionately--1
point of Strength for every three levels of experience to a maximum of
25.
However, the giant form is awkward and
clumsy, so the wu jen does not receive any hit bonuses for his increased
Strength
(although he does receive damage bonuses).
The percentile scores for an 18 Strength
are ignored, going directly from 18 to 19 in Strength.
Damage bonuses for Strengths above 18
are equal to + 6 + 1 point for every point of strength greater than 18.
The Armor Class of the wu jen is improved
by 1 for every 12 feet of height gained.
The hit points of the wu jen remain unchanged
and the movement rate also remains unchanged, because of the slow and lumbering
body of the caster.
While in giant form, the wu jen cannot
cast spells of any type.
Items carried by the wu jen do not increase
in size, except for normal clothing.
Obviously, because of this, the wu jen
cannot use normal weapons.
However, he can uproot trees to use as
clubs
(2d10 points of damage) if a successful bend bars/lift gates die roll is
made.
Boulders can be hurled, again if a successful
bend bars/lift gates die roll is made.
Each boulder thrown causes 3d6 points
of damage.
Other acts of rampage and destruction
must be adjudicated by the DM, using the general guidelines of Strength
and the bend bars/lift gates die roll.
Also, since the spell causes a sudden
spurt of growth, the caster should take care in picking the place the spell
is used.
If cast underground or in an area smaller
than the full size attained by the caster,
the caster is going to take damage, possibly
even die because of the squeezing and crushing that occurs.
MC: The scale of a dragon || hairs
from the head of a giant.
Minute Form: The reverse of this
spell is minute form. When cast, the size of the caster reduces
by three inches per
level thereafter. An 18th-level caster
reduces by 54 inches. When the caster shrinks to one inch in height only
1/8th of an inch is lost per level thereafter.
The maximum reduction allowed is 1/ 8th inch tall. The Armor Class
of the caster remains unchanged. However,
the character must be seen to be hit! The movement rate is reduced
by 1 " per foot of height lost. Upon reaching
the last foot of height, the movement rate is reduced 1 " for every
further 3-inch reduction in height. The
movement rate can never be less than 1 foot per round. Upon reaching
one foot in height, the creature suffers
only half normal damage from falls. At one inch or less of height, no
damage is suffered from falls. However,
the creature is highly susceptible to winds and breezes and can be
easily blown about by gust of wind, wind
breath and similar spells. Although all items shrink when this spell is
cast, most are rendered unusable or negligible
in their effect. The ranges and effects of magical items and spells
are adjusted proportionately to their
size.
MC.Minute Form: A flea swallowed
by the caster.
