Message: <blockquote data-quote="Voadam" data-source="post: 8797560" data-attributes="member: 2209">I normally go with RAW and ignore Sage advice as it is just someone offical giving their statement and interpretation of the RAW and seems only valid to the point their argument on RAW seems persuasive, but I gave this a listen (for at least the beginning 12 minutes or so).Driving a new chariot seems a good analogy. Same driver, different vehicle with different capabilities.A driver switching from a formula racing car to a monster truck or ATV.This came up in the video as a counter to the idea that if you are starving in the jungle and get turned into a panther that you would attack your friends.As Crawford says at 10:21 the core of your being is not erased.If you are a bard with expertise on deception who can fake people out with an insinuating look, body language, verbal misdirection, and compelling cons, once transformed into a rabbit you can still choose to try to feint or whatever, but your character is no longer good at it. The rabbit brain aspect comes up here to the extent game statistics enter the picture. Choosing to do so would still seem to be in concept the player as the character, not the player as a random beast.A charismatic druid spy trained in deception would be better at deception as a wild shaped rabbit than the more charismatic expertise deception bard polymorphed into a rabbit (game statistics difference) but they could both choose to try to deceive enemies in situations that would be unnatural for a mundane rabbit.</blockquote>
