Enlarge Person and Powerful Charge

Enlarge person doesn't increase the damage from Powerful charge (although according to PC description it should).

p.s. I have just found something at NWN2 wiki:
In NWN2 (v1.23), the size increase from Enlarge Person is only a cosmetical effect. The spell does not actually increase the size modifier. This means it has no effect on Disarm and Knockdown rolls, and there are no penalties from increased size. The same applies to Righteous Might.

The "size penalties" are in fact a -1 penalty to Dodge AC and a -1 penalty to enhancement AB.


Is this possible to fix?

More strangely, not even the Bear Warrior's large Bear size counts towards in his knockdown modifier. Nor does changing into such a bear remove such race specific effects as lightblindness.

Actually, shifting to Bear form increases your size modifier. I checked it, the bonus damage with powerful charge is 2d6 in Bear form (instead of 1d8 in normal form). I guess it works with knockdown as well (harder to check).

I guess this is more about Enlarge person not working as intended (not increasing size modifier). As for the balance, it affects Knockdown, Disarm and Low blow aswell (and perhaps something else I am not aware of).
