<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:

games.<br>
<br>
A character lost a leg, nothing new here, but the leg <br>
is totally gone not just severed. The party is in the<br>
middle of the desert with no access to either<br>
Regenerate or Regrow Limb spells.<br>
<br>
The groups sorcerer had a bright idea of casting<br>
Shapechange on the Stumpy to change him to a trollkin. <br>
so the question becomes would the trollkin body have<br>
two legs? What if he is turned into a four legged<br>
animal? What if he is turned into a scorpionman?<br>
