[Rq-rules] Re: Shapechange

[Fred Vogel]

I've lost track of this thread over time.  However,  I am a big advocate of 
the GM is the God of his gaming world.  Consistency is important but not 
100% of the time.  There are exceptions.  The bottom line is this.  Do you 
want to play a game with a member with a dismembered leg or not?  Will your 
player still have fun playing or not?  This is more important than the game 
mechanics of the moment.

If your PC is a role player who will find this a challenge, then great guns. 
  If he is just gonna look for a way to get killed in a hurry to replace his 
character so he can get a new one, the find an out for him, and next time 
decide that if your pc is going to be this way, cut to the chase and let him 
bleed out.
