Yes. Your gear is assumed to increase in size with you. If your bow has a strength bonus and your strength is higher than that, then you only get up to the bow's strength bonus, not your full bonus.
however, base damage remains the same as medium.

Can you cite the rule for that?
Melee weapons increase damage by size. Why wouldn't ranged?
is in the spell description. logic is: once weapon leaves hand it reverts.
same thing with ranged weapon, the ammo leaves your hand, then reverts to size. So you would still get + up to bow, but same base damage... is why for ranged, reduce person is so much better
if you want the same effect for ranged attacks the spell you want is Gravity bow. It's on the ranger list at first level, not sure what other lists it's on off the top of my head.

inquist, too. and yea, small + grav bow... and/or i guess if you have consistent way to grow, carry a bigger bow?
I would say that the damage would remain for the next size up. The size of the bow remains the same when the arrow leaves it, and it is the size of the bow propelling the arrow that causes the extra damage, not the size of the arrow. Even if the arrow reverts back to medium size, it is still being shot with more velocity than it was from a medium bow.
Melee and projectile weapons deal less damage. Other magical properties are not affected by this spell. Any reduced item that leaves the reduced creature's possession (including a projectile or thrown weapon) instantly returns to its normal size. This means that thrown weapons deal their normal damage (projectiles deal damage based on the size of the weapon that fired them).
Sorry misremembering... was cause of the weapon me and a friend were using.

Thanks for looking that up. Usually when I attempt to make a point of how I think the rules should be, based on logic, the RAW proves me wrong. It is nice to be right for a change.
was a halfling sling paladin we were looking at... rather a friend was playing. I sure never claim to be perfect.
edit: I just didnt wanna look up the spell XD tired, and working slowly on a map for PbP game...

It appears there is a miscommunication here.
Dakota, are you saying that an archer under the effects of Enlarge Person still keeps the ranged weapon's damage die increased? If so, you are incorrect. You may houserule it anyway you want though.
All equipment worn or carried by a creature is similarly enlarged by the spell. Melee weapons affected by this spell deal more damage (see Table: Tiny and Large Weapon Damage). Other magical properties are not affected by this spell. Any enlarged item that leaves an enlarged creature's possession (including a projectile or thrown weapon) instantly returns to its normal size. This means that thrown and projectile weapons deal their normal damage. Magical properties of enlarged items are not increased by this spell.
Only Melee weapons have their damage die increased.
Why confusion...>.< two spells with similar effects and similar strength, one says gets bonus, the other says it dont >.<
try again... I quoted reduce.
Consider that projectiles don't have damage, but crossbows and bows do. So if the crossbow and bow increase or decrease in size, then the damage they inflict would change too, regardless of the size of the projectile. There is no small or medium or large arrow in pathfinder, so why would changing he arrow size change the damage?
