Some not really needed, but probably helpful critter abilities: Small Stature Dwarf = the effect of the elixir of shrinking Great Size Giant = the effect of the elixir of giant growth
Why? To be able to look at the stats of a creature and know that a potion was used on them. It also enables shrinkified or enlarged customs to have their size alteration reflected in their stats in a cleaner manner. I may or may be looking at a recent case haha.

'Small Stature' already exists as an ability, but it doesn't do what you suggested.

Okay, I have questions! We actually have a registry for Growth and Shrinking, and numerical stats are changed due to the Elixirs. Small Stature is an ability that gives a totally different effect with no stats changes. Why do we need a special ability for each whenever we already have a registry for it? (I don't mean this in a mean way at all, I need to know more information as to how this is going to help any more than having the registry does. As of right now people just do the stat subtraction and mark it down in their stats, but if we had abilities that added/subtracted that kind of thing, it would be confusing for people to put the stat changes in there.) EDIT: I think I understand now. So basically, this would give people the chance to make an addon/added on ability for their custom that does what the potions do? If this is the case, it's a hard no, since the potions are meant to be the only way to confer those traits/stats changes.

I think this is more like Empathetic Link meets Eidelon Endeavor. Something was paid for for the ability that cannot be from an addon/custom - like the ones from the dark corners. And it simply shows it has been done without having to have the potion listed with the creature at all times. And like Empathetic Link, it is not passed down to offspring.
I like this idea a lot. Maybe instead of Dwarf, cuz that sounds genetic, it can be more intentional like “Shrunken” or “Miniaturized”...? Besides, dwarf could mean only a little smaller, whereas this potion turns Pliathor catsized. Maybe Giant can be “Enlarged” or “Monumentalized”. Lol

I talked to another moderator about this today and provided that the changes provided by the elixirs have to be elixir-only for balancing purposes, we are going to have to say no to this one. -nod-
