I'm pretty sure they have Bioware for increased bust size. :silly:
Hmm... looks like none of the new spirits have that ability, so it makes me think that the GM can allow it, if he wants, on any spirit. |

You need the metamagic technique called "Invoking" to be able to summon greater form spirits, and the only two with the endowment power, are, as Hyzmarca said, guadian and task.

No, you cannot give an ally spirit great form powers, you can only give them powers from the basic set of spirits you can summon.

Is a great form plant spirit not of a spirit type that an initiated Invoking druid can conjure? Although I can see how you can come to the conclusion that a Invoker mage cannot give his ally spirit the powers of great form spirits he can conjure, I can also see how a GM can rule that an Invoker mage can give his ally spirit great form powers. A great form plant spirit is available to a druid once he has learnt Invoking just like all other Invokers of his tradition. If the great forms spirits are not part of your tradition, you cannot summon them even if you know Invoking. |

Heck no. Invoking is a metamagical technique which adds powers to an already existing spirit. Allies can only pick up powers that your spirits come with. If we opened up allies to getting any power your spirits could potentially get when other techniques were used upon them, we'd have to open it up to every single power - even Twist Fate. See, just as you could learn Invoking and then Invoke one of your spirits up to greatform status and pick up a snazzy power, another spirit could Inhabit a great dragon and get a good merging result and have all the dragon's power as its own and thenuse Endowment on your spirit to cause it to gain such powers. How many layers of power stealing do you want to go? The correct, by the book answer is "zero". -Frank |
