[QUOTE="Violent Solace, post: 7363498, member: 6943108"] Did you read what i said because this argument makes me believe you didn't I said that for the reasons I listed the druid would revert THEN the damage needs to finish being resolved as you CAN still apply damage. After the damage is resolved the " if this damage reduces the target to zero hit points the target is dust" kicks in my whole argument wasn't about bypassing the "trigger" it was me using the context of the text in the book to better establish why its reason able that the druid would revert back before the trigger of the spell is active Long story short Because there are effects of dropping to zero hp (unconsciousness) that do not effect the druid the druids reversion MUST take precedence as there is no evidence that the spells effects and there is evidence of reversion occuring first happen first now as for when the druid reverts using this conclusion it happens before the the end of the interaction during the spell you are dealing damage you are not done doing so until you can no longer deal damage (either there is no more damage from the spell to deal to the target or there is no longer a target to deal damage to) but as you are still dealing damage to the druid after it reverts it is logical that this is when the druid reverts therfore before the spell ends and the effects take place it this point if the druid is at zero it would be turned to dust The only argument to be made against this is if you were take the words at face value with no meaning in wich case it you read the spell see a 0 and dust the target but this is using incomplete language as language AS WRITTEN has meaning and context to be interpreted Run your game as you wish but there is no real need of these arguments as it is ultimately up to the DM and most use the RAI when they cant decide RAW meaning as i would recommend to all DMs [/QUOTE]
