[QUOTE="Thanee, post: 2583798, member: 478"] Thanks! :) It's still a -2 to attack for wrongly sized weapon then, but that's not as bad as making one of her more important combat feats disfunctional. And that is exactly what I'm talking about... What exactly does Latalya know? ;) Or rather how do we determine/limit that knowledge? I would assume, that she has seen most 'common monsters' and certainly also a few not overly common ones. She has certainly seen more monsters than what has been mentioned in anything we have written here on the board until now. In any case, when I use the spell in future, it would probably be easiest, if I already know whether or not a certain form is alright, otherwise it will just hold the game up to find a suitable one. :) Here are some ideas for your consideration, how we could determine, whether she knows enough about a certain monster to assume its form: 1) All monsters from the Monster Manual I with a CR of up to 11 are ok. All others only, if they have been encountered in the game. 2) The various Knowledge skills are used to determine, whether a specific monster is known. The DC is 10+HD as usual (Take 10 is allowed, because it makes a lot of rolls unnecessary and thus greatly speeds things up). Additionally, all monsters encountered in the game are considered familiar. 3) Both 1) and 2) apply. 4) Something else? Bye Thanee [/QUOTE]
