[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 7363685, member: 23751"] This is wrong, though. It specifically says the druid drop to 0. Therefore, it cannot possibly be that the druid does not drop to 0, at least not according to RAW. Specific beating general means that you do not either have 1, or the pool of hit points. It means that you hit 0 and then revert along with any other thing that happens when you hit 0. Since the ability specifically says you aren't rendered unconscious if your normal form has hit point remaining(something that would not be said if your claim were true since 0 never happened), that overrides the specific rules on hitting 0 causing unconsciousness. You are vastly overstating the odds of this ever happening. The odds are in fact very, very slim. First, you have to have a druid change into an animal form. Then that druid has to travel to a wizard. Then that wizard has to be high enough level to cast disintegrate. Then that wizard needs to recognize that the animal is a druid and not a normal animal of that type. Then the wizard needs to want to cast disintegrate on that druid instead of another spell or leaving it alone. Then the druid needs to fail the save. Good god, that might happen once every 5-10 campaigns or so, but it's not going to anywhere remotely close to "every BBEG fight". Never argued otherwise. RAW is that the druid is dusted before reversion, though. ;) [/QUOTE]
