Welcome to Dispel Magic! No matter how big you are, you can always be bigger. At least that what my weight trainer tells me. The spell Enlarge Reduce subscribes to that to a point, but like anything in D&D there are restrictions. We're going through how to take advantage of those restrictions along with our thoughts on architecture, civic planning, and a host of traps Wile E Coyote would be proud of.
