Transmutation Special Insight?


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


Do Transmuters gain special insight into the nature or type of a creature when applying a transmutation effect? Do they notice anything odd at all? for example, could a transmuter casting polymorph on a halfling disguised as a human child know it wasn't human without beating its disguise check? what about more extreme cases, could a demon under a veil effect accept an ant haul spell? would the caster know it was a demon if it failed its will save to pierce the disguise? how about a conjured creature? would it register any different than a native variant of its type (assuming no special immunities to the particular effect). Would any of these answers change if the transmutation or polymorph effect was a spell like ability instead? I understand that some of this would be GM discretion, but is there any ruling or text I can point to in order to establish a baseline.


I don't know of any relevant text, but I see no reason why the spellcaster (or SLA user) would ever get any special insight into such things.
