New Spells: Gigantism and Gargantuan Polymorph
by WingofCoot(credit to Frank Mentzer)
Gargantuan Polymorph
Level: 5
Range: 0 (Caster only)
Duration: 12 turns + 2 turns per level of the caster
Effect: Caster may change into large shapes
This spell is a variant of Polymorph Self, with the following differences:
- As shown above, the duration is longer
- The new form can have more Hit Dice than the caster, but not more than 40HD. Creatures of Immortal or Exalted status are not possible forms.
- The new form must be significantly larger than an average human. Any creature marked as (L) in the Rules Cyclopedia qualifies; for creatures found elsewhere and not marked as (S), (M), or (L), assume a minimum of about 400 pounds (8' tall for bipeds of roughly humanlike proportions) is required.
Gigantism
Level: 4?
Range: 0 (Caster only)
Duration: 6 turns
Effect: Caster grows in size
This spell has the effect of a Potion of Growth upon the caster, doubling the caster's height, and doubling melee damage as well (e.g. 2d4 + Strength modifier for a dagger).

How do these look? Does the level for Gigantism make sense? For a MU, I don't think it's that powerful, but maybe for an elf...
