Stone to Flesh - what kind of flesh?


Rules Questions


The spell states you can turn inert stone into flesh, but it isn't alive. No problem. But... what kind of flesh?

If I make a statue of a cow, then cast StF on it, does it become beef? If I do the same to a pig statue, does it become pork? Can I make beef from a pig statue? If I made it out of a statue of a human, would it be cannibalism to eat it? Does the meat spoil?


It becomes flesh kind obviously.
In all seriousness though I'd say its gm fiat on this one.

Although you could totally use stone to flesh as a means of preserving food. "Freeze" some beef and when your hungry "defrost" the meat and begin cooking.

It is magically created non-distinct flesh.

The shape of the stone has no effect on the flesh created.


Ya ive always looked at it as unidentifiable. Its clearly meat and probably edible but who knows what kind exactly, like hot dogs.or spam.


tastes like chicken....


Better yet: What kind of stone is made with flesh to stone?


I always thought it tasted more akin to SPAM


mystery meat!


I'd like to think it's player choice; it is magic afterall (and a level 6 spell at that).

Limestone? Maybe marble. Hmm. Sandstone? No? How about, oh, something laced with argentite? Or galena? What kind of rock do you get cold iron from? Mithril? Adamantite?

Or, as the final answer, metamorphic rock, duh!
