DM here, I've got a player who wants to play a Magical Child Vigilante (basically as a magical girl who will avoid the first 5 rounds of combat by initiating Transformation Sequence to change from social to combat form), however, they don't know, and I can't find what happens if the character is attacked while switching identities.

To be brief, I know that conceptually (anime), you don't attack while the transformation is going on, but I don't think a raging bugbear is going to just wait half a minute for the show to end, but what's the rules-based result of him charging in while magic and lights are going off?


Basically, is it possible without getting them to 0hp, then chasing them down to their own plane and murdering them there?

I figure trap the soul would do the job well enough, but if there is a lower-level alternative to getting it done I can't find it.


An item that allows the user to become a dragon once a day.

Basically I figure it'd be a command word base, giving it CLxSLx1800.

Looking at the maximum dragon-ness here, we'll say Form of the Dragon III, an 8th level spell, which wizards cannot cast until 15th level.

Leaving us with 15x8x1800, or 216,000 gp.

We then make it a charges per day item (1), and divide that number by 5 for it following the formula, leaving us with a cost of 43,200 gp.

But there might be a similar item I'm not aware of to compare the pricing to. Does this seem right to you guys?


1 person marked this as FAQ candidate.

Awkward title I know, but it's the best way I could think of to describe it.

Basically, I want to know how effects that decrease movement speed stack with one another.

In this case, Slow (Halves Moment speed among other things), Entangled (Also halves movement speed among other things), and the Solid Fog spell (Also also halves movement speed among other things).

---
For example, assuming we begin with a creature with a 30ft movement speed, would it look something like this.

Creature is affected by slow (Speed drops to 15ft/rnd).

Then the creature is entangled (Speed drops to 7.5ft/rnd, rounds down to 5) <--- This is the step I begin to be unsure I was right

After that, a party member throws a Solid Fog on the same creature, further reducing it's movement speed to 2.5/rnd, or rounded down to 0.

At least that's how I thought it should go, it ended up not mattering since the thing's turn didn't come up, but I was wondering if I interpreted how it should work correctly with those effects stacking.


Is it possible to acquire either of them through any means other then a class feature?

That is to say, would there be any possible way for a class that does not acquire either by levels or archetype (Say a vanilla Fighter for example) to make the acquisition without taking levels in a class that provides it?


For my own inscrutable purposes I find myself in need of one and will not be permitted by my fellow game-players to convert one myself.

I thank you heartily in advance.
