[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 6768308, member: 177"] I don't buy this. It sounds like a GM attempt to screw a player for using powers the game hands them to use without strings attached. If we are allowing so much science as "pheromones", then the only impact they have on the mind is through the brain - if the brain has been altered to be appropriate, then the impact of them should be "normal" - if pheromones are part of the creature's normal mode of determining attractiveness, it would map to the character's normal mode of same. If you polymorph into a giant insect, yes, maybe you'll find an insect of your species attractive, but not like, "OMG, they are the most attractive thing you have ever seen! Bow-chicka-bow-wow!" There is no call to say, "Your mind isn't used to this," any more than there is call to tell someone who polymorphed into a bird, "Your mind isn't used to wings, so you cannot fly." [/QUOTE]
