I have an alchemist with infusion who is going to give his friend with a snake fetish the ability to turn into a Lamia Matriarch with the snake tail. Now, if I also gave her a potion of enlarge person, would it turn her into a Huge creature with the ability to hit as a large creature?
I know the size bonuses would not stack, but since the potion affects her attack and the size of her weapon, how would you deal with it? Of course if Monstrous Humanoids are not affected by spells that affect Humanoids, then it is kind of a moot point, but I thought I would ask.
No. It is its own creature type independent from the other, and they each have their own rules to follow.
Despite their similarities, Monstrous Humanoids are a different creature type than Humanoids. Enlarge Person, Charm Person, etc. don't work.
I don't think your buddy's base type changes assuming you gave him Monstrous Physique. So enlarge person should work just fine eventhough he is in the form of a monstrous humanoid. His type is still whatever he is originally.
It does change, and so it would not work.
Thanks everyone for your quick replies, I thought it was that way, but I needed to be sure.

What effect are you using to cause the transformation? Most, including the majority (if not all) of polymorph spells, do not actually alter a creature's type.

But even so, any spell that changes your size has no effect on you while you're under the effects of a polymorph spell.

Huh? No casting enlarge animal on a baleful polymorphed target?

To quote the polymorph sub-school:
"In addition, other spells that change your size have no effect on you while you are under the effects of a polymorph spell."
