One of my long standing house rules when I'm DM is to let people just be as creative as they want during downtime, as long as it doesn't affect the story. Druid wants to spend all day wild shaped as a turtle, hanging out in the pond? Sure, go for it - I'll ignore the X/hours per day limits or whatever. The wizard wants to cast Wish just to create a sick looking pipe to smoke from? Amazing, no XP or gold cost for that. Fighter wants to use Action Surge repeatedly to chop an entire tree into firewood for their winter log cabin? Don't forget to mount a deer's head above the fireplace.

I wouldn't care for the inconsistency, personally.

That's fine, I don't require players take advantage of it. Spend your time crafting, resting, whatever. It's all just a game in the end.

I could agree with that, but if draw the line at produce having emotions.

Like disgruntled avocados, serious zucchini or angry garlic.

titleop's name means 'angry garlic'

You need a spoiler title for a spoiler to work, like that:

title is requiredcontent

Don't know, it looks like a spoiler on Thunder now

[–] Akasazh@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

dont let them go back into human form before digestion is over though, something bad could happen

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I had the fatal butt disease so I don't exactly sleep okay it looked like a real word at the time

[–] sirblastalot@ttrpg.network 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

I'm not making fun of you I just thought it was a funny word :) Also, sorry about your butt.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

I'm making fun of me so like, you can a little as a treat

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

And what happens if you transform into an anteater with human food and waste going through your digestive system? It’d be way too big, for starters, so do you just explode? m

Or if you transform into a creature with a radically different morphology. And what happens to your gut fauna?

[–] sukhmel@programming.dev 1 points 1 month ago

It all transforms with you

oryou may have spare bodies in the astral plane and every time you transform, it's really just a swap of bodies and a mind transfer

As you begin devouring your unfortunate victims you start to feel strange. It turns out this ant colony is a race of highly intelligent multi-dimensional beings with psionic powers. Roll for initiative.
