True Seeing
Ok, True Seeing lets you see the true form of someone under the effects of Polymorph like spells. I find this strange because Polymorph is not an illusion, but I was thinking about something and it made me scratch my head.
If a True Seeing Wizards looks up and sees a Druid Wildshaped into Bird, what does he see? Does he see someone playing Superman or does he see a human desperately flapping their arms to stay airborne?
If a True Seeing Wizards looks up and sees another Wizard transformed into a Cloud Giant who is carrying a boulder the size of a boat, what does he see? Does he just see a tiny little weakling wizard carrying a boulder or does he see the Wizard and the boulder "floating" above him?
If someone has True Seeing, do they know that someone is using an illusion? It seems like it could be dangerous to see something without actually knowing that they are attempting an illusion.

Re: True Seeing
I typically allow people to see both the illusion and the real form.
The real question: Polymorphed objects are actually there. So, say we have someone hiding behind a wall. That wall used to be a fish, but it was polymorphed into the shape of a wall via Polymorph Any Object.
Now, you see the true form (the fish). Do you see the person behind the wall?

Re: True Seeing
The pebble eats your face. It's currently Polymorphed into a bear.

Re: True Seeing
Even better:
Polymorph any Object a whale into a small tuna. What does the True Seeing guy see when a fisherman catches him in a net or when a bird eats him? Surely they don't see a pelican fly off with a whale in tow...

Re: True Seeing
I always just played it as somethng along the lines of you getting a mental image of how things actually are. So you'd know the wall was a fish, but not see a person behind it. You'd know the bird was a druid (well, a person) but he wouldn't be flapping his arms or anything.
Thats nothing official of courseI will NOT succumb to evil!...Unless she's cute._____________

Re: True Seeing
what would happen if something ate a whale that had been polymorphed into a small tuna?

Re: True Seeing

Ok, that would be the coolest booby trap ever.
