I'm thinking of including the warp-spasm effect in a standard D&D campaign for a celtic race. This will be as a class ability rather than a racial/feat based ability.
To simplify things, I'm making the effect of entering a warp-spasm purely affect size (with a few modifiers, see list - the level assignment are just a starting place). Using the basis for the new class as the barbarian, how can this be balanced?
e.g. Would this need to be only ever once a day? (Once a day at peak effect, plus one partial at higher levels?)
