[QUOTE="Murrdox, post: 2499336, member: 10131"] The spell text referrs to "Statue State", meaning that "the subject to solid stone, along with any garments and equipment worn or carried." Since when is "Solid Stone" flexible enough to move? Infinity, your interpretation of the spell would be more like "Stone Form" or something along those lines. Saying that the title of the spell has no bearing on how it should be interpreted is nonsense. The title of the spell is just as much a part of the spell as the Spell description. Obviously since you have the ability to transform from a statue and back again, you are capable of exerting mental control over yourself. Thus the effect of this spell seems to be simply that your body becomes an object, while you retain your mental capacity. I think you're not seeing the forest through the trees, and refusing to acknowledge the very very SIMPLE concept of what a "Statue" is. The SRD tells you what a "Statue" is according to the game rules (hardness, keeps own hitpoints, etc) but it otherwise kind of assumes that you are smart enought to know what a "Statue" is, and the properties all statues possess. Of all the statues in the world, ONE definining thing they all have in common, no matter what material they are made out of... is that they do not move. [/QUOTE]
