[QUOTE="FungiMuncher, post: 1708821, member: 1094"] Perhaps I'm evil, but my current campaign has a body-swap situation going on now. It seemed to have made sense at the time... The situation - One character, a female, runs into some fairies. She offends one of them, so he successfully wipes her memory and implants the idea that they are husband and wife. He gets access to the party's new stronghold. After a session or so, the rest of the party finally chases off the fairy, and attempt to restore the memory of the character. The cleric, a male, can't cast the required spell, so they commision a scroll from the nearby town. He reads the scroll, but fails the caster level check. He then fails the mishap check, as well. So, after some consideration, I decide that the memories are restored, but to the wrong person. The memories (and personalities, mental stats, etc.) of the two characters are swapped. That happened about four months ago. The players seemed to have taken it in stride, and have roleplayed it well. The originally female character has since died (her player expressed a desire to retire the character just before this happened - I was trying to set up situations to do just that). However, the male character is still going. He's been kind of annoyed by the whole situation, but I have been dropping hints on how he can get his body restored. Needless to say, he's not willing to read any more too-high-level scrolls. :lol: The last time I did anything like this was when I was in high school, over 20 years ago, with one of those belts. Never considered plopping one of those things in my campaigns since those days. [/QUOTE]
