thanks! so :
- ok
- missed that on the FAQ, but after double check, got it. on other threads the discussion went to a "no speach related action" except for spellcasting. Was there a clarification somewhere, or do you take it on the sensible side, with "if you don't have a throat / mouth / all that stuff made for speach, you can't speak. So if you're a human, you can speak." ?
- seems fair enough, and good by me (I was beginning to wonder if i did a good job of choosing both Shapechange and physical mask).
- so i'd have to sustain the improve body spell while casting the shapechange. Would it then :
* "transfer" to my new form (giving me a bear with even more body),
* need to be sustained in any case, cause it's a condition for the shapechange spell,
* be dropped, cause i would need to cast it once more if i wanted it to apply to the bear form, and it was a requirement for the casting of the shapechange, not its sustaining?
- thanks, i'll have a look at it!
also, new questions!
- derived from the "improve attribute (body)" part : does it say anywhere that i can't cast a negative spell on me? (like, as you guessed "decrease attribute (body)" in here to get to change to low body animals.
- does it say anywhere or do sensible person consider that no matter your body level, you can't change to creatures with body ratings of 0? (like rat, cockroach, etc.)
- it explicitly says that equipement is not transformed by that spell : does that mean that clothing and equipment gets sent into some sort of astral pocket or whatever to follow the caster, and get back on him after the spell is cancelled? Or does that mean that i have to get nacked everytime i cast that spell if i don't want my clothes to be ripped open by the bear i'm transforming into, and then find a way to get my clothes to follow me (a giant bear backpack i'd carry with me at all time?)?
* if it's the first option, what happens if i change into a human? i get a naked human i assume?
* if it's the second option, how does cyberware, bioware and all those sort of things fare?
(I'm pretty sure i'm being a pain right now, but... i need to know
)
