Are there any nice and cheap rings, wands, etc that would allow a Halfling Rogue to have access to Enlarge Person and Reduce Person more or less on demand?

Level is 10.

I don't know about Reduce person, but if you need enlarge person there is a belt in the MIC that will let you use it.

Thanks. Of the two, Enlarge WAS the more wanted. Is it at will? How much does it cost?

There are rings for each of those, activated at command:
Savage Species page 54: Ring of Growth and Ring of Shrinking. The Ring of Growth costs 18000 gp and the Ring of Shrinking costs 3600 gp. Though 18k might be a little bit out of the budget of a 10th level character when your total wealth should be around 49k.
So, just get a sorcerer cohort who only knows Greater Invisibility and Enlarge/Reduce Person. Get him to follow you around invisibly all day and cast it on you whenever you need it.

Oh, and Belt of Growth is on page 73 of the Magic Item Compendium. It only costs 3000 gp, but only functions for (up to) ten minutes once per day. You can't divide the ten minutes up at will like you can with some other items. It's cheaper, but the Rings I mentioned in my last post work more times per day.

There's the ring of reduction in Lord of Madness (p130). Permanent reduce person for 20000gp.

I was just wondering why there were two Rings that reduce size, but it looks like the Ring of Reduction is that much more expensive because it's permanent until commanded to restore the character to normal size, whereas the 3600 gp Ring of Shrinking only lasts up to nine minutes. I misread those entries in Savage Species when I posted earlier.

Enlarge is a -2 to attack rolls and AC for rogues which is a debuff. Reduce would be better except it gives you a reach of 0 feet. Maybe if you went ranged rogue it could work.

Permanency > Enlarge/Reduce Person, get it at your next major city if you want to get smaller. Sure, it can be dispelled, but it's good for low level adventures

Two words: Reach Weapon.
In the DMG, there is a delightful weapon called a Kusari-gama. In game respects, its a one handed spiked chain, with all that that entails.

Phylactery of Change (11200 GP, A&EG p. 135) allows all-day polymorph into something large/huge/etc. up to 7HD (check out the Remorhaz).
