Hello all I have a question about how expansion and compresion powers work.

I get that they change the users size. But how does the augmentation work.

Does expanstion give:

1. You gain a +4 size bonus to Strength, a -4 size penalty to Dexterity (to a minimum effective Dexterity score of 1), a -2 size penalty on attack rolls, and a -2 size penalty to Armor Class due to your increased size.

OR

2. You gain a +6 size bonus to Strength, a -6 size penalty to Dexterity (to a minimum effective Dexterity score of 1), a -3 size penalty on attack rolls, and a -3 size penalty to Armor Class due to your increased size. (the change for the origional power and the change for the augmentation)


It would be the same as a 4th level spell. Divine Power gives +6 to strength, BAB = to HD, and temporary hp = to CL. Option 2 would be on par with Divine Power in my opinion.

Thanks.

The first one. Augmented expansion gives you only a +4 size bonus to strength, -4 to dex, etc. Same difference with compression.

If it said "an additional +4 ..." then you would get a total of +6 to strength, -6 to dex, et cetera.

Divine power is broken.
