Normally, you would assume that a character changing from a medium sized character to a Huge character using polymorph would do so as shown in example A, filling the empty squares.
Is example B a legitimate outcome from the spell, once again filling the empty squares? |

For the character to go from the corner (or side) to the center is covered by the 5 foot step. I would imagine that if a character was caught in the corner of a room and polymorphs, s/he would grow to fill the square s/he is in. Then grow out from there. S/he would need to shift their weight while growing into that corner that doesn't budge. |

By not using the center of the player as the place you enlarge or shrink from, you are not only allowing the ability of the spell, but you are also allowing extra movement in that round. From reading the polymorph spell, I do not believe it is the authors intention of giving the player any extra movement. But I can understand the DM allowing either type. It just seems easier and more logical to enlarge or shrink from the center of the player. Otherwise you could be complicating things when there is no need to. |
