[QUOTE="everchanging02, post: 752124, member: 10834"] Well, this is an interesting question, and something I had to consider when I was planning on running the game that (I hope) will start next week. This will only be my second time GMing a game... I hand-picked the players from my group of friends. It is a Savage Species game that will allow the players to play whatever they wanted (up to LA +6 and total ECL 10). I had heard stories of another game in which one of the players had been 'abusing', if you will, the <i>Polymorph Self</i> spell to polymorph into outsiders. In SS, there is a new feat that allows you to use a super natural ability of a form you have polymorphed into. After listening to friends talk about this feat, there was the concept of poly-ing into a Rakshasa and using the immunity to spells under 8th level supernatural ability. Therefore, I had the idea to ban outsiders from being PCs, as I didn't want to run into this problem, being inexperienced as I am. Later, upon talking to the player, it was explained that the game in which he was playing was supposed to be 'whored-out' (excuse the language) and that I could use a modification to the spell (such that a peice of the creature being polymorphed into would need to be in possession of the caster for the spell to work). Therefore, I voted that I can trust most of them, but that some still need to be watched. [/QUOTE]
