It has been brought to my attention recently that Magic Jar is a very poorly worded spell. Outside of the chained Magic Jar body hopping and questions about life force, something else has come up:
How does Magic Jar interact with creatures that have more than the usual allocation of actions per turn? For example, if a Necromancer used Magic Jar to possess a Zombie minion, can they only take single actions? If they possessed a Serpentir (MMV), which has two sets of actions as a result of body shape, do they get to take two sets of actions? Would a Serpentir that cast Magic Jar retain its ability to take two actions per turn in another body? Would an Awakened Zombie that used Magic Jar to possess a human only be able to use single actions?
