No, it will not work that way.

Go for it. The spell makes you large, so you are large.

For even more coolness, go for Greater enlarge self in the spell compendium. It will make you huge, which is even better.

05-20-06, 01:08 AM Dont you gain the elemental type at the end of elemental savant? If so, you're no longer a valid target for enlarge person.

05-20-06, 01:31 AM I dunno, its weird how they put it. You become an elemental, but you can still be raise dead. So I just assumed if that still counts, then other spells affecting you would work normally.

Yes, you are right. I had to look it up, but it specifically says "Her type changes to elemental".

Greater Enlarge Person doesn't make the target grow two size categories. The benefit is that it lasts 1 hour/level.

05-21-06, 11:48 PM All my dreams dashed away, Ah well. At least they can not reduce person me. What other spells would I technically be immune too? Charm person... can not think of any others yet.

05-21-06, 11:52 PM You are also now immune to Dominate Person , though you are still fair game to a Dominate Monster spell.
