Hi all...

When something has the following immunity: "Abominations are immune to polymorphing, petrification, or any form-altering attack." Does dissintegrate count as form altering attack?

And what about the enchantment: "Proof against transmutation"? Does that include dissentegration?

Thanks

The description of the Proof Against Transmutation enchantment actually mentions Disintegrate as an example; it says that Disintegrate can still reduce the wearer of the armor to -10 hit points, but their body remains intact. I think it's the same deal for abominations, where they take the damage but don't turn into dust.

Extra Anchovies is correct. Proof Against Transmutation only prevents getting turned into dust, it doesn't prevent against dying

For abominations, I'd rule the same way: the spell still does its damage, but doesn't destroy their body if they go below 0hp.
