[QUOTE="Stormborn, post: 3659295, member: 14041"] More importantly, would a sheep polymorphed into a comly elf maid.... err never mind. If a cleric took the bones of said polymorphed chicken and cast Ressurection on them what would result? A chicken or a person? If it came up in game I would rule that it was the person who was restored. Basically I agree with Umbran, the creature in question retains sufficent qualities of a person to be thought of a more person than chicken and thus consuming it would be cannabalism. This brings up a larger question about cannibalism in game. If an elf eats a dwarf is it cannibalism? Perhaps not technically by our definition, but then we dont have rules dealing with sentient nonhumans. In a campaing world I would think that knowning eating any sentient creature amounts to cannibalism and in the black and white world of DnD would be considered an "evil" act. Unknowningly doing so might also constitute an evil act for those bound by strict moral codes, such as a paladin or to a lesser degree druids and clerics. [/QUOTE]
