[QUOTE="Gnimish88, post: 1422418, member: 15041"] AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IS IT TOO MUCH TO ASK WOTC TO PUT SOMETHING DOWN THAT WAS PLAIN AND UNAMBIUOUS FOR A CHANGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There, I feel better now. Two questions that do come up about all of this: Has WOTC put out anything official that included the normal and wildshaped/polymorphed stats for an NPC? While this would go a long way toward clearing things up, I am of the opinion that they probably would be inconsistant about it anyway. What happens in the following situation, assuming HPs don't change: 8th level druid with 40 HPs and 10 CON wildshapes into a dire bear. His CON is now 19. During combat, he is nailed with an arrow coated with black lotus poison. The arrow does 5 points of damage and 9 points of CON damage. What are his HPs? Does losing the CON effect his HPs, since it currently matches his normal CON of 10? Is he at 3 HPs or 35 HPs? Both seem pretty absurd to me. In the first case, you take the downside of CON loss, but not the full upside of CON gain. In the second case, you all but neuter physical attribute loss to a high level wildshaper/polymorpher. What are peoples' thoughts? Have I missed something? [/QUOTE]
