<onlyinclude>==== Shrink Ray ====
{{#set:Summary=A weapon that permanently shrinks its target to [[SRD:Fine|Fine]]-size.}}
Developed by an obsessive-compulsive gnomish artificer, this weapon never saw much use outside of the laboratory, but despite that, it is a potent magical weapon. Despite its function, the ray weapon itself is large and somewhat bulbous, a claptrap mechanism of patched-together iron. The ''shrink ray'' fires a crackling blue-and-yellow burst of sparks, a ray with a range of 50 ft. An enemy hit by the ray must make a Fortitude save, DC 15 + the wielder's highest mental ability score, or be shrunk, permanently, to Fine size. They take a penalty to their [[SRD:Strength|Strength]], [[SRD:Constitution|Constitution]], and [[SRD:Natural Armor|natural armor]], but gain a bonus to their [[SRD:Dexterity|Dexterity]] (the penalties to Strength and Constitution cannot reduce the score below 1). The penalties and bonus depend on the creature's original size, as below:

A character shrunk by a ''shrink ray'' can be restored to full size by a ''[[SRD:Greater Restoration|greater restoration]]'' spell,which causes the size change to wear off in 24 hours. Incorporeal or gaseous creatures are immune to the ''shrink ray'', and a creature with the [[SRD:Shapechanger Subtype|shapechanger subtype]] can revert to its natural size as a standard action. Before it can be fired, a ''shrink ray'' must first be charged, as a move action. To charge it, the wielder must expend a 5th-level arcane spell or spell slot, or a 4th-level infusion. A single such charge lasts for 24 hours, allowing the ''ray'' to be fired without limit in that period.

Moderate Transmutation, CL 10th. [[SRD:Craft Magic Arms and Armor|Craft Magic Arms and Armor]], [[SRD:Craft Wondrous Item|Craft Wondrous Item]], ''[[SRD:Baleful Polymorph|baleful polymorph]]''. Cost 30,000 gp + 2,400 xp. Price [[Cost::60,000 gp]]. Weight 5 lbs.</onlyinclude>
