Description | This spell causes instant diminution of a creature or object,
decreasing its size and weight. Its height shrinks by up to 10%
per caster level, to a maximum reduction of 50%. The reduced
weight is proportional to the cube of the new height, as follows:
Height Decrease Weight Decrease --------------- --------------- 10% (x 0.9) 30% (x 0.7) 20% (x 0.8) 50% (x 0.5) 30% (x 0.7) 60% (x 0.4) 40% (x 0.6) 80% (x 0.2) 50% (x 0.5) 90% (x 0.1) All equipment worn or carried by a creature is reduced by the spell. Magical properties are not decreased by this spella smaller +3 sword is still +3, a smaller wand is still capable of its normal functions, and a smaller dose of a potion still has its normal effects. Weight, mass, and strength are affected, though. Thus, a hurled stone would have less mass (and cause less damage), chains would be easier to burst, a rope made thinner and easier to sever, and so on. A creatures hit points, Armor Class, and attack rolls do not change, but Strength decreases with size. For every 10% of reduction, a creatures Strength score suffers an enlargement penalty of 1, to a minimum score of 1. A shrinking object may damage weaker materials affixed to it, but a reduced object shrinks only as long as the object itself is not damaged. Multiple magical effects that reduce size do not stack. Reduce counters and dispels enlarge. |
