As a DM you're within your right to make any amendment to any rule that you want. My DM uses the "Rule of Cool" when deciding whether to allow something or not, which works great. If it isn't a gross manipulation why not? That's not to say that the spell's function was designed that way...

We've been using it wrong for years then. PoA our fallen cleric into a vampire for the fast healing. He wasn't too thrilled after waking up, don't think his god was either.

If a human is changed into a troll with polymorph, it does not gain the regeneration because Extraordinary qualities are not gained. Does a human gain the regeneration capability when polymorphed into a troll with polymorph any object? in DnD3.5e, Is the only difference between the level 4...

1. Broken means damaged and no longer working. It can mend broken objects PROVIDED it has but one break. Broken can mean into pieces, it can also mean damaged, such as a crack, and no longer working. It doesn't mean it IS absolutely broken into pieces. That broken must adherer to the...

A logical and sensible perspective. (y) What do you think about the other dismissible spells in the permanency list?

If the spell with a duration is dismissible, would it be reasonable to say that s spell made permanent is suppressible? This is relevant not only for Arcane Sight, which my sorceress will be able to make permanent next level, but also for other spell effects that she has just created: Allow me...

Using the rules to get around it, yes.

If a simulacrum is no longer a simulacrum, it is not bound by the limitations of a simulacrum! Polymorph any object changes a target creature or object into another. A polymorphed simulacrum is no longer a simulacrum, it becomes another creature or object. A troll polymorphed into a human loses...

Good, so you agree that the space exists only so long as you create that space by holding the two pieces close together. Use your logic to fill in the rest. A space in a dagger caused by a crack or fracture is always a space without any conditions, in fact you have to break it further in order...

opening/space [countable] break (in something) a space or an opening between two or more things Find the various definitions from multiple sources, American English, English English, and list them together for the common denominators: A gap OR a space OR an opening, and then apply it to the...

I think this is where much of the confusion comes from, is partially what "comes to mind. "Actually "broken" as the past participle of "break" can't only mean "broken into pieces" or "broken off". It certainly can mean that. But your broken car didn't fall into pieces. It means damaged and...

I agree with all of that. Damaging objects is a spice in the game that brings realism about. True, repairing the object doesn't necessarily refer to hit points, but the rules do care if an objects hit points are reduced to zero, it's pretty clear that it's destroyed. That's why I say that an...

Agreed. Within reason, which was the whole start of my addition to this thread. Your missing the point. A thing separated, torn off, cut into two is not considered small, either as an inanimate object or as a living thing. To mend that finger, to reattach itself, requires a higher level...

Yes, we roll with critical hit and critical miss. I understand it's an option, and still an example of where a dagger could receive damage. It may also receive damage as means of good storytelling; "as you roll and tumble with your opponent the ground beneath you suddenly ceases to support...

So you're saying that a slender dagger couldn't be cracked? I'm saying it can have a crack or a fracture, I've seen them in weapons in real life. The spell does exactly what it says it does, as defined by the limitations of the words used by the author, those words defined by the dictionary...
