    Who needs friends? A level 3 duergar rune knight can use giant’s might and enlarge person to become huge in one turn, and then action surge to get wrestling right away!

      That would imply that Lluis Abadias would play anything not reptilian

      And if you know of them, that simply won’t do

        I don’t, but whoever they are I look down on them from atop a giant dwarf

        Math time!!!

        Lets say we have a Dragon born with Volume=v (v=xyz), Mass=m. It’s Density would be d=m/v. We also know that it kick ass with a Force=F, where F=m*a, being a the acceleration of it’s arms while punching.

        If our DB double it’s size in every dimension, it means that it’s Volume is: V’=2x2y2z > V’=8(xyz) > V’=8V.

        If we assume it’s density keeps constant, then it means it gains some mass.

        D=m/v, but now D=m’/v’ so

        m/v=m’/v’ , mv=m/(8v) , m8v/v=m’ , m’=8m

        If we assume that it will punch with the same acceleration as always, F=m*a

        F’=m’a, F’=8ma F’=8(m*a) F’=8F

        So, changing from medium to large would imply changing 8 times the strength. If this keeps up for every step, then we are talking about one extra change to get to huge, and then one to get to gargantuan . So 8^3 times the force. And if we assume a linear relation between force and damage, 8^3 times the damage…

        Yeah… A few extra d4s seems… Meh

        I think if you’re just Huge and you’re grappling a Gargantuan dragon, you’re going to look like a dog humping his leg. Which may be what OP wants to do, but still…
