Message: <blockquote data-quote="Maxperson" data-source="post: 8164836" data-attributes="member: 23751">If by rare you mean fairly common, you would be correct.Just look at the druid wildshape threads.  When wildshape + disintegration came up, I said that by RAW at 0 disintegrate triggered dusting the druid as he changed back.  Reasonable conclusion.  Many others said no, the damage carried over and the druid had to hit 0 in his regular form to be dusted. Also a reasonable conclusion.  There's no middle ground there.  You can't dust half the druid.  Either it happens or it doesn't.  There was a smaller 3rd faction that said that the druid never hit 0 before reverting, despite the text explicitly saying that the druid did, and therefore the dusting effect never triggered.  Less reasonable, since it directly contradicted printed text.  If this came up in a game and you  had people on both sides of the two reasonable positions, someone would need to make the decision as no compromise would be possible.  I stated in that thread that for my game, I wouldn't dust the druid, because it didn't seem right to do that to a player since the wildshape ability was core and involved forms with low hit points, even at high levels.  It turned out that I was correct on both fronts.  When Sage Advice came out it agreed with me that by RAW the druid gets dusted when the wildshape hits 0, but RAI was for the druid to survive.That's just one example of the many contentious rulings threads on this and other sites.  While most threads do have minor quibbles, they also have a lot of major ones.</blockquote>
