A couple of the fighter-type Players said they didn't want to be turned into a troll -- or anything else monstrous. The sorcerer Player seemed to think turning down the buff was dumb. (As a paladin Player in that campaign, I also didn't want to be polymorphed into a troll or anything else.)In a more recent group, playing D&D3, we were fighting a big vegetation monster in waist-deep water (I think it was a tendriculous). The PC halfling monk was having to hold onto the vegi-critter to not be submerged. My cleric, standing back from the fight, cast enlarge person on the halfling. My intention was to make him tall enough to not have to hang on to the monster while fighting (was requiring skill rolls, and giving him penalties). He immediately yelled at me to remove the effect. He didn't want to be big. So I dismissed the spell on my next action. I must admit that I kind of thought not wanting that buff (for only a few rounds) was silly. I mean, my cleric used it on himself often to serve as the party tank.Have you seen examples of Players/PCs refusing magical physical transformations to buff them up? How did the caster take the rejection of magic?Bullgrit</blockquote>
