• Enlarge (1/day). The spriggan’s size triples in all dimensions, and its weight is multiplied by 10. This growth increases its size from Small to Large. The spriggan remains changed for one hour, or until it takes a bonus action to end the effect.

While these weapons are enlarged, the spriggan’s attacks deal an additional die of damage on a hit.

ABOUT

Spriggans are ugly, stocky gnomes with a bulbous nose and reddish eyes. They have shaggy dark mustaches and ratty beards, both unkempt and caked with dirt and filth. Spriggans are among the ugliest and certainly the most foul tempered of all gnomes. At one moment a normal-sized gnome, a spriggan can grow to giant-sized in an instant, gaining immense strength and taking unsuspecting opponents by surprise.
