Notes

• The Constitution Saving Throw only applies when the spell is cast on a non-party member.
• Reduce decreases the target creature's size to the next smaller category. For example, a Medium creature becomes Small. This also reduces the scale of the creature's model by 33%.
• Reduce also decreases the weight of the target creature to original weight/2.35. If the new weight is above the maximum weight of the new size category (e.g. 40 kg if decreased to Small), the weight is set to the maximum value for that category. See Creature Size for more information.
• Reduced creatures have significantly more limited  Shove weight limit. Refer to max shove weight for details.
• On the other hand, Reduce does not affect the weight of objects that can be  Thrown or wielded as a  Improvised Melee Weapon by the Reduced creature. However, it does make the Reduced creature itself easier to throw or used as an improvised weapon.
• 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").
