Maneuvering a Giant


Advice


I have a high level character, an 11th level magus, that is built around maneuvers. If need be, he can hit some pretty crazy DCs. But I'm running into the problem many maneuver characters do, I'm running into things that I can't maneuver.

I have found ways around most of the problems, but I haven't found a way around the size issue. I keep running into things that are too big.

I can get my character to size large pretty easily, and that allows me to trip and preposition things that are up to size huge. Unfortunately, at 11th level I'm running into gargantuan baddies on a pretty regular basis.

Is there some magic item or weapon enhancement that would allow maneuvers against bigger foes? Or is there a way to get my character to size huge?

Spells and magic items are pretty much the only options I've got. I'm not in a position to start looking at feats or taking levels in another class. My character does have a little over 20,000 in gold sitting around, so he could afford some sort of high priced item to fix the situation.


You could switch to a maneuver that doesn't have a size limit? Dirty Trick, for example?

You could get a bunch of Monstrous Physique III scrolls and become Huge that way.


You don't happen to have picked up Armor training (fighter class feature) somehow or the Armor Focus feat from Weapon Master's Handbook? Because if you did, I think you could get the Training weapon enchantment to your weapon of chose and having it grant you the Poised Bearing feat (also from WMH). It lets treat your size as one larger for the purposes of determining the size of creatures you can bull rush, drag, overrun and trip.
