Since discovering "Slimy transmutation" yesterday, I've been letting this power bounce around inside my skull.
Since the power turns the monster into a toad EVEN ON A MISS, what would stop you from using it on a difficult monster, having a party member race over to pick up the toad, and then throwing it off a cliff (end of battle)?
Sidenote: the transmutation even on a miss means that theoterically you (a level 1 mage) could even turn Vecna himself into a toad (of course you then suffer a miserable terrible ongoing death after he turns back).
