Message: <blockquote data-quote="Erebus" data-source="post: 690102" data-attributes="member: 8616">Thank you all for your responses. On to some individual comments...Celebrim:"Generally, ask yourself this question. If I was in trouble, which way would I not want my DM to rule? That is the correct ruling."I disagree. Sometimes the DM is simply wrong about how a particular rule works. Yes, I know, it's his game and he decides what goes and what doesn't. That said, to err is human. Besides, being fair should be the DM's concern, not automatically choosing the option that hurts his players the most.BTW, I've DMed in the past and will once again soon, so this question is valid from both a player's and DM's perspective, as far as I'm concerned. I just want to be clear on how to handle such a situation in case I have to make such a ruling at some point. AuraSeer:"For purposes of polymorph, there is no "following" involved. You still have the same mind and body, but the body's shape changes."I think you misunderstood me. By "mind" I mean precisely what you are referring to with your paralyzation example. It's the same way a +3 enhancement from a Bull's Strength would enhance a wizard's STR even if he were to take the form of a troll (i.e. his STR as a troll would be 26). Celebrim's notion of "life force" touches on this.Once again, thank you all for your input. I'm still interested in hearing the "official" response to this issue if one exists. By way of the Sage, perhaps?-E</blockquote>
