[QUOTE="OB1, post: 7707652, member: 6796241"] [MENTION=32659]Charles Rampant[/MENTION] I agree that a creature who has been enlarged has the weapons it is carrying enlarged and that those do and extra 1d4 damage. But what if the enlarged creature picks up or carries around a weapon one size to large for it to use when enlarged as is being discussed for the Guardian? If on their person when the spell is cast, the 4d6 Large Greatsword would become a 4d6 + 1d4 Huge Greatsword, and still wouldn't be usable by the PC. If they throw it on the ground during the transformation, they could pick it up as a Large Greatsword at 4d6 but I would rule that they don't get to use their proficiency bonus on attacks, since they are not proficient with Large Greatswords. This is the exact same ruling I would make with a Guardian if they tried the same trick. The only difference is that when the Guardian grows, her equipment doesn't grow with her and thus doesn't get the 1d4 bonus damage like the spell does. That makes sense to me both in crunch and fluff, and so I don't think it requires a change. [/QUOTE]
