GROWTH
Effect: Alteration
Action: Free
Range: Personal
Duration: Sustained
Cost: 4 points per rank
Optional: Fatigue
You can increase your size, and therefore your strength and durability.
Every rank of Growth increases your Strength by +1 points and Constitution
by +1 point every two ranks. The additional Strength does not improve your Climb or Swim
skills (since your mass also increases).
Every four ranks of Growth increase your size category by one. So a
Medium creature with Growth at 4 ranks is Large, at 8 ranks is Huge, at 12
ranks is Gargantuan, at 16 ranks is Colossal, and at 20 ranks is Awesomesized.
You gain all the benefits and drawbacks of your new size category.
See Size, page 34 for information on the effects of different sizes. Your base
movement speed increases by 5 ft. per size category you enlarge.
POWER FEATS
• Alternate Power: If you have Growth, you can acquire Shrinking as
an Alternate Power feat.
• Growth Strike: You can add the momentum of increasing size to
your melee attacks, literally enlarging under an opponent’s jaw, for
example. This gives you a +1 damage bonus per size category you
enlarge until you reach your opponent’s size and only works on opponents
larger than you are. So growing from Medium to Awesome size
as part of an attack does +5 damage, for example.
