[QUOTE="Bastoche, post: 325444, member: 306"] I personnaly see thing totally the otherway around. Once the rules are absolutly and totally fool proof, all what is left to do is role-play. In reality, not everybody is a good player. And in reality, you won't say to one of your dearest friend "soory pal, you can't play in my game, you're not roleplayer enough for us". We need "powergamer"-proof rules so we can concentrate on the roleplaying instead of watching for loopholes in the rules at every turn. So ? Only a powergamer wouldn't see the roleplaying opportunities that could arise from playing a half-orc wizard or sorceror ;) Not for [i]anybody[/i] IMO. It's not because you are a good roleplayer that you may get the priviledge to balance roll advantages with role disadvantages. In the case of polymorph other, I agree. But like someone said, it's nothing that a hat of disguise can't fix. And in the case of polymorph self, you can always revert to your original shape for the duration of the spell. [/QUOTE]
