OOTS death pool (thread #4)

Bumping this again.

[Sniffnoy]

(Bumping this again as usual.)

Bumping. We're still interested in these long term bets, only no regular character died recently.

[Sniffnoy]

And, usual bump.

[b_jonas]

Bump. We may have to reactivate soon because “Nothing good happens on a walkway”.

[b_jonas]

Another bump. The Order just met the dragon Calder who wants to kill Serini, just in case you're out of ideas about who to bet on.

Since Bloodfeast is about to be turned back from Baleful Polymorph, I have a rules question. The description of the Baleful Polymorph spell says “If the subject remains in the new form for 24 consecutive hours, it must attempt a Will save. If this save fails, it loses its ability to understand language, as well as all other memories of its previous form, and its Hit Dice and hit points change to match an average creature of its new form.” If Bloodfeast is reverted but it turns out that he failed that will save and forgot all his previous memories, so he no longer remembers serving in the gladiator arena, eating from the all-you-can-eat guard buffet, and stomping on Tarquin's army division, would you count that as a death for the Bloodfeast who was?

Probably not, because "These abilities and statistics return to normal if the effect is later ended. "

[Sniffnoy]

Yeah, I don't think I'd count that in this case.

[b_jonas]

Probably not, because "These abilities and statistics return to normal if the effect is later ended. "

Wait, that applies to the memories too, not just the hit points and language skills? I see!

[b_jonas]

Another bump. We still care about these bets.

[b_jonas]

Bump. Still holding for a significant death in comic.
