Multiple Morph Spells


Rules Discussion


You can be affected by multiple morph spells at once, but if you morph the same body part more than once, the second morph effect attempts to counteract the first (in the same manner as two polymorph effects, described in that trait).

Sounds logical so far... but what is exactly a "body part"?
Arms? Legs? Head? Mouth? Hands?

There are Spells with the Morph Trait, like:
Warning Stripes > Morph Trait, and the Text says: "Skin"
Is "Skin" the same like Bodypart as "Body"?

And if Skin counts as Body, should Skin not always have the Polymorph-Trait, since every PArt of the Body is covered in Skin?

Can i combine any "Skin"Morph Spell with an Arm/Body/Head Morph Spell?
Can i combine an "Arm"Morph Spell with a "Hand"Morph Spell?

What if the same "Bodypart" is affected from a Spell and from an Non-Spell? Example, Animal Rage (Ape) (is not a Spell but has the Morph Trait) and Dragon Claws?

It isn't defined completely, so it is up to GM discretion and table decision.

For example, one table may feel that Dragon Claws and Tentacular Limbs are both affecting hands and so they would conflict and counteract, while a different table decides that arms and hands are separate enough parts of the body that the spells can both take effect.

I don't remember if a Sorcerer can end up with bloodline spells from two different bloodlines or not, but that is a detail that is not relevant to the explanation on the Morph trait.

As for magical and non-magical sources, I have always heard that they will still counteract as defined. I know of no rule saying otherwise. Ancestries with at-will polymorph abilities are somewhat prized for this - they can resource-free attempt to remove any harmful Morph or Polymorph effects that they are suffering from.
