[QUOTE="CubicsRube, post: 7370068, member: 6848185"] For druid transformation or anything really id recommend talking wirh the player in question with the group. Whats the tone of your game? Do you want to have a game where a 1st level druid can become a dragon? Does the player? Do the others? I personally would not be keen for it, but tastes can vary. You are right about the hold, i forgot. It does just work. Its a limited resource after all. However you as gm get to say how this works. You're perfectly within your rights to impose a consequence of a move. So if the player with the purple worm wants to swallow that goblin, you can still set a condition if you want. And you can choose to require the player to make a roll to avoid the effects. For any move, including moves that require hold, they have to meet the requirements to beable to make the move. You as the gm decide if theyve been met. Hack and slash for example you have to be able to approach and potentially hurt an enemy. If you are fighting a skilled spearfighter, you might need to defy danger with dex to get in their range or otherwise use some other method. Otherwise they can decide to charge iin and take damage, and only then do they get to hack and slash. Similarly for a powerful dragon with scales like platemail, the character may not even get a chance to roll hack and slash. Maybe they need to study the dragon and find a weak point before they can attack. Or maybe they need to taunt it to attack its soft mouth as it roars, etc. So sorry for the long winded post, but if the player wishes to spend a hold to make a move, they still may need to meet a requirement firdt and you get to decide that. They want to swallow that goblin? Well they are darting in and out of a stone archway. You'll need to time your swallow or you'll smash into the archway and take some damage...etc [/QUOTE]
