Comment on Anon plays DnD
Maalus@lemmy.world 2 months agoIf you want to go that route then polymorphing can only be done by changing them into a creature. Not a sword. So womp womp. One of the first sentences in the DM guide is “all rules can be changed if it means more fun for the players”.

I won’t belabor that point, because true polymorph exists, and if this character has that ability it can be assumed that’s the spell he means to use. If he doesn’t then it wouldn’t work if he tried.

I liked to play where if my players tricked me, well they got me, we’ll adjust and keep going. They always realized that I may ask a similar question to them though, and it could always go the same way.
In this specific case, I’d let it happen and they’d probably going on an adventure for a wish in the next session (depending on how important the NPC is to the story, they might need to have him as a humanoid). Just like if you have an asshole paladin, they might find themself trying to atone to get back their favor with the gods.

Perfectly valid - the GM gets to decide the rules of reality. I personally feel like this guy didn’t think it through well enough for his “no will check” desire to work.
