[QUOTE="Sunseeker, post: 6740700"] Right, though I think a clause along the lines of the Druid's Wildshape may be appropriate: Can't use class abilities [I]if[/I] the form can't use them. So, a mouse can't talk or gestiulate, so he can't cast spells. A Weretiger can speak [I]and[/I] gesticulate, so he can cast spells. True Polymorph denotes that like Polymorph, that you can't cast spells or take actions that the new form doesn't have they [I]physical[/I] capability to do so. Here's an interesting line in the free DMG PDF in the Ghost info: "It otherwise uses the possessed target’s statistics, but doesn’t gain access to the target’s knowledge, class features, or proficiencies. The possession lasts until the body drops " Differentiating "statistics" as something separate from class features and proficiencies. Honestly I think it's just a language problem. This edition is notoriously "fuzzy" on the language. [/QUOTE]
