Curse Wizards and their vague term usage.
I don't know If posting the spell Stone Body (Spell Compendium, pg. 207) is legal or not, so I won't. In a nutshell though, it makes you immune to things that "affect your physiology or respiration", besides giving some other immunities. Figuring out what affects your respiration is easy, but physiology is a much broader term; it covers the physical and chemical actions of your body, as well as the state and operation of your organs and cells. Things like sneak attack obviously wouldn't work; you can't critically hit (and therefore sneak attack) something made of stone. I just can't help thinking, however, that the wording of this spell would cause a lot of headaches in game.
I guess what I'm asking is if anyone else has similar views on this spell, and how they have dealt with the problem.
I'd also appreciate no one telling me "Don't use it if you don't like it/understand it/hate it/think it's overpowered". I'm not whining; merely interested if anyone else had the same feelings about the spell, and how they use it in their game.
