Collar of the Great Beast
This is a collar of intricately braided leather of tanned giant hide and studded with blunt bone spikes. The collar grows or shrinks to fit the creature it is to go about. When put around the necks of an animal, vermin or familiar they grow to twice their normal size and eight times their normal weight. This alteration changes the beast's size category to the next largest, grants it a +8 size bonus to Strength and a +4 size bonus to Constitution (and thus an extra 2 hit points per HD), and imposes a –2 size penalty to Dexterity. The creature’s existing natural armor bonus increases by 2. The size change also affects the beast’s modifier to AC and attack rolls and its base damage. The beast’s space and reach change as appropriate to the new size, but its speed does not change.
If insufficient room is available for the desired growth, the creature attains the maximum possible size and may make a Strength check (using its increased Strength) to burst any enclosures in the process. If it fails, it is constrained without harm by the materials enclosing it— the collar cannot be used to crush a creature by increasing its size.
The spell gives no means of command or influence over the enlarged beast.
Moderate Transmutation; CL 9th.; Craft Wondrous Item, animal growth, giant vermin; Price 65,000 gp; Weight 1 lb.
