[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 7363532, member: 23751"] I did and it's just as nonsensical now as it was then. This requires you to change rules to be true. It requires you to change the shapechange rule which specifically says you hit 0 before reverting, and THEN you add in the additional damage. This is false. There's this little gem of a rule called Specific Beats General. That allows specific rules like disintegrate to overrule general ones like shapechange. That there are other effects that(and your explanation doesn't even make sense) drop a druid to 0 and don't stop the reversion is irrelevant. Those SPECIFIC rules just don't act like disintegrate as all. So there is no "must take precedence" involved with shapechange, and in fact disintegrate as the more specific rule MUST take precedence, because that the actual rule. And maybe you missed the fact that the game designers agree with me and put out an official ruling stating that the druid is dusted before reversion. Absolutely! Feel free to house rule the game to allow the druid to survive. I house rule my games to a great degree. [/QUOTE]
