[QUOTE="Coroc, post: 7922019, member: 6895991"] 1. It is a Statue of a T-rex. When the polymorph spell ends it turns into a statue of a wizard. (From somewhere these morphing statues must origin, even in 5e don't you agree?) 2. Str damage carries over eventually instantly immobilizing him. A polymorph is no short rest or whatever. 3. dust to dust, the wizard is gone. He is not just killed he outright vanished, leaving only a small heap of dust. (He is killed on top of that, but it just matters for the means of which resurrection spell to use, making raise dead or reincarnate a difficult issue imho.) The three above might be conflicting with RAW but they do not conflict with my logical thinking, so that is how I would rule it on my table. But here comes a fourth: 4. What about my favourite oh no effect, the one so deadly like poison in 2e: A) The wizard had one or more levels of exhaustion before / B) the T-rex gained one or more levels of exhaustion during polymorph. What happens when 1st A) polymorphing / B) reverting? Are they gone now or do they carry over? Answers according to RAW and to logic pls. I cannot tell outright what the answer would be especially in the case B) [/QUOTE]
