Can we add the ability to wield oversized weapons in one hand with the spell Giant Str?

So you could drink the potion, then wield your oversized weapon and shield, but you drop that weapon if the spell fades and you dont have two hands free?

It would not change anything if you were already wielding your weapon with both hands.

It seems like that would render the enlarge spell redundant and useless, grayden, unless you are looking for giant size advantages without the drawbacks. It might have made sense to merge these two spells 20 years ago

Not that anyone cares what I think, but I would say giant strength is fine. Giving the ability to wield oversized weapon with such an easily accessed spell would, in fact, render the illusionist spell less relevant as well as bypassing the xp penalties that the giant sized races have.

Giant strength is more about the power possessed internally than it is about the size of the person. It’s like doing steroids, you can lift a car but everything else stays the same size (minus ze penis, poor guy). Enlarge makes more sense because you’re growing in size, Alice and Wonderland style. Seems good to me, but don’t let that ever stop you from feeling like this is a place where you can voice your ideas and suggestions. We love it and it helps us re-examine things from a fresh perspective, and the players perspective is truly invaluable.

Forgot about enlarge, looks like I need to befriend an illusionist.

Can we get a place to buy spells, like how you can buy healing at the altar. Maybe slip some gold to the illusionist guardian for an enlarge spell. Looks like current options are a scroll with weakness and a pill that might plague me.

Yes, giant strength is abundant, but give me a list for the enlarge spell.
