Ok, could you explain a bit more explicitly? Who is complaining about whom, exactly? And they're complaining that the fighter is "overpowered"? I'd think the wizard and RSoP would be much more effective...

And what is "Melt Metal"? Do you mean "Heat Metal", or is there some spell that I don't know about? And if you're not the DM, why would you be an idiot for not checking the spell description?

Just remember that a Goliath is a Monstrous Humanoid, so not a valid target for Enlarge Person ;)

Doesn't change much, they don't gain that much from being large anyways, since powerful build is effectively counting as large, so bein glarge does not make you count as huge.

What!!!!! Even as a playable race???
What does that have to do with it? There are playable abberations, outsiders, etc...

Why not? You were looking for a way to "nerf" the fighter. You found it. :P (Unless he's using Expansion, the psionic equivalent of Enlarge Person).

EDIT: The SRD says the spell affects "humaniod creatures". Where does it say that Goliaths are Monstrous, and not affected?
In the type line.

I warned the player......I'm not going to start a shitstorm by warning the DM. It can be an advantage though, right? You can't use Hold Person on them, it would have to be Hold Monster?

yeah, it's actually more an advantage than anything else.

And in Dnd, Humanoid is a type, not something you are.  Or else some aberations, most outsiders, constructs, undead and a slew of other creatures are ALL humanoid...

It says that the Goliath is a Monstrous Humanoid in the ROS text yeah.......I can't find where it specifically says that spells like Enlarge Person don't affect Monstrous Humanoids. It's not in the MH text in the back of the Monster Manual

It goes by creature type, and Monstrous Humanoid is a distinct creature type from humanoid, not just a humanoid that's monstrous.
The mind transcends the body.
It's also a little cold because of that.
Please get it a blanket.

I wish I could read your mind,

"Just what do you think the moon up in the sky is? Everyone sees that big, round shiny thing and thinks there must be something round up there, right? That's just silly. The truth is much more awesome than that. You can almost never see the real Moon, and its appearance is death to humans. You can only see the Moon when it's reflected in things. And the things it reflects in, like water or glass, can all be broken, right? Since the moon you see in the sky is just being reflected in the heavens, if you tear open the heavens it's easy to break it~"

just to be sure:


[spoiler]
If you stop ignoring 289 pages telling what the intent is to stretch "more power" in your own god complexion of your interpretation trumps all to cover ability adjustments from aging then I will ignore a quarter page of rules that exist within a sidebar.
I think in this case the grammar is less important than whether the Str and Dex bonus provided to your created undead scales.
