| notes = * The [[Constitution]] [[Saving Throw]] only applies when the spell is cast on a non-party member.
* Reduce decreases the [[Creature Size|Size]] category of the target creature by 1. This affects the maximum size of creature it can {{SAI|Throw}} or use as an {{SAI|Improvised Melee Weapon}}, and vice-versa. For example, a creature of Medium size can only be thrown by a Large or larger creature. When Reduced, a Medium creature becomes Small and can be thrown by a Medium creature.
* While not stated in the spell description, Reduce also decreases the weight of the target creature. The formula used is: <pre>Original Weight / 2.35 = New Weight (minus additional weight, if needed, to place creature in the correct size category)</pre> ''(See [[Creature Size]] for more information.)''
* The change in size from the spell stacks with the change in size from [[Disguise Self]], making it possible to become a tiny creature (small race + Reduce). As a tiny creature it is possible to go through even the smallest of passageways such as pipes or jumping through the bars of a fence, something even the small races can't do.
* The incantations for Reduce are '''Minimus''' ("Smaller") and '''Diminue''' ("Diminish").
* Weapon attacks deal 1d4 less damage. Has {{Disadvantage}} on Strength [[Checks]] and [[Saving Throws]].
