[QUOTE="Jack Simth, post: 2101949, member: 29252"] Also, Simacrulum is not too terribly broken - it costs EXP, more for more effect, you (pretty much) have to beat something before you can duplicate it (well, unless you can convince your rouge that stealing a scale/hair/whatever from the lair of something the party couldn't beat is a GOOD idea.....), and even then you are only getting "half" the critter - that Now-Dead CR 16 critter your Party Level 14 group took down only yields a CR 8 aide. Sure, if someone has lots of ranks in Ride, that fake Frost Dragon makes a much better horse than anything else you could buy, but it's rather expensive to maintain. Hmm.... how long would Polymorph Any Object on a Simacula into the real version of itself last... let's see... same IQ, same size, related (it's an image of itself, made from the real thing).... that would be, what, duration factor 6, or two days. Or does a simacrula count as an Animal of the same Class (e.g., Dragon), in which case it would be Same Kingdom (5), Same class (+2), Same Size (+2), Same IQ (+2) = 11, permanent? Split the difference for 8/9 , 1 week to permanent? Would it still remain under your absolute control, or would it become independant? Able to be healed/heal itself like normal (until someone dispels the Polymorph... to no apparent effect)? What a can of worms that is! [/QUOTE]
