[QUOTE="Pielorinho, post: 531446, member: 259"] If you quantify magic but only do it halfway, you can run into some big old silliness. A few examples: -Does a wizard's toad familiar count against the 8-character limit? -What about the sorcerer's housecat familiar? -What about the druid's housecat animal companion? -What about the druid's grizzly bear animal companion? -What about the druid's trained grizzly bear? -What about the druid's bear's intestinal tapeworm? -What about the paladin polymorphed into an intestinal tapeworm? -What about the eight dead pixies the grizzly bear ate for lunch? -What about the eight pixies with protection from acid currently living inside the grizzly bear's belly? -What about undead pixies? To say that (for example) a grizzly bear who's eaten eight pixies can fit inside the space, but that if some of the pixies haven't yet died in its stomach it can't fit, boggles the mind. Rather than deal with that sort of nonsense, I'll try to quantify it sensibly (in D&D) or not quantify it at all (in Mage: the Ascension) Daniel [/QUOTE]
