>Him, guardsman. He's the shapeshifter!
How do you respond without sounding mad? Keep in mind that having a single transmutation spell will trigger Zone of Truth if you try to deny the accusation.

Turn in the exact likeness of the nosy b***h and accuse her of being the shapeshifter.
If I were a shapeshifter how would I know I was me?
>If I were a shapeshifter how would I know I was me?
I cast Transmute Head to Orange
Why would I want to respond without sounding mad?
"If I was a shapeshifter do you really think I would choose to look like THIS?"
Works well for horcs and half Drow, abominations all of them
>We're playing AD&D, 2nd edition
/thread
>Yep. He's Evil. Arrest him.
What's your point? Both shapeshifters and b***hes exist in AD&D 2e, anon. Watchmen, too.
>"Him, guardsman. He's the shapeshifter!"
Guardsmen aren't a part of my games, because they're busy protecting their nobles, and my games are about exploration and tactical combat versus monsters.
There also aren't any shapeshifters.
>transmutation spell
>Zone of Truth
They don't sound like things that are in an actual game.
I don't respond, I wouldn't be in that situation; because I refuse to put myself in a situation where I'm sitting at a table where people pretend to play a game. I already tried it, it wasn't fun.
>They don't sound like things that are in an actual game.
D&D is a bad game, but it is a real game.
The few structures in place to test player skill and luck are superceded by rule 0, which is DM whim that may be invoked at any time.
It's not a game.
Rule 0 exists in every roleplaying game, even if not codified. It is inescapable outside of GMs who specifically disclaim it--but, even then, that is a choice made at an individual level, not part of the game itself. And that can also be done within D&D.
morons who run a session on whim where player skill and luck have no bearing aren't game masters, because they aren't running a game.
I don't believe you've never fudged a roll
I like games, so no, I haven't.
what's it like living with autism?
Apparently it involves constant seething over DnD.
How would you feel if you hadn't had breakfast this morning?
I'd be feeling pretty bad, actually.
Breakfast is important, so I do my best not to skip it whenever possible.
>Be necromancer
I swear I'm not a shapeshifter
Now this chick? She's definitely a b***h, and that should make her your Prime suspect.
When do we get to the part where everyone votes?
I shapeshift into a crying child and call the woman a meanie.
>Keep in mind that having a single transmutation spell will trigger Zone of Truth if you try to deny the accusation.
Nah my Type is still Humanoid
Officer i simply cant have been the shapeshifter orphan murderer, for as you can clearly see i cannot shapeshift and therefore must not have murdered those orphans!
>:^)
Apologies, wench but according to recent update in Article 9 subsection 4 of the town charter shapeshiters are allowed in town so as long as they are not of the color blue, a color most detested by the local lord.
>"I might be a mage, but I have yet to learn any shapeshifting magic. Also, I'm obviously female and if you can't see that then clearly you aren't a very good witness for anything."
>Guards probably snicker and escort her off somewhere else so she can't harass the mage that lives at the castle and does odd jobs for the queen. Especially not after I gave the castle guards those awesome tattoos. Rolled really well on my artistry check there.
"That sounds like the kind of thing a shapeshifter would say."
Sorry lady, I think you got the
Yes. That's why the guards hired me you stupid prostitute. Also thats her, guardsman. She's the unlicensed prostitute!
And this is precisely why D&D is shit, the fact you can accuse anybody of anything and that it's 100% believable because of how schizophrenic the setting is and not the fun kind, having magic be available everywhere all at once that can do anything instantly and how none of this shit matters anyway because you can either roll high or fight your way out of any situation unless the DM wants to put you on railroads which will be very obvious when it happens.
>Blatant bait OP
>HURR DURR FANTASY BAD
You don't play
Kek this is literally my experience. Played a changeling bard with the intention of being a super sneaky and manipulative guy, put most of my resources into deception and persuasion.
Then anyone meaningful I could persuade or deceive seemed to have some of truth and true sight. Upon realizing two very common spells nullified my entire character idea I just kind of waffled about trying to help the party in little ways.
"Yes, and? The kingdom's been quite friendly to my people ever since the royals made an allience with the Faerie Queen."
<heavy breathing> HELLO?
>Overwhelmed
Egads! Foiled again! Very well guardsman, come put the manacles upon me, but be warned that doing so will surely inflict a horrible curse upon you and your future spawn. Dare you come and dispense justice at the cost of generational suffering gehehehe
>Believing in shapeshifters is HERESY
I'm an evokerCHAD so I have nothing to fear
"This is my town. Have this person removed." And they do, because it is, in fact, my town. I own it, and the constabulary work for me, and are also my property.
"No, I'm not...?"
frickin works every time. dumb humans.
In the last palladium game I played, my shapeshifter was the heads guardsman. He was hired to assassinate the man and then nearly got caught in the middle so he shapeshifted into the guardsmen and after living the man's life for a while, decided he liked it and just kept going. He had to fake a debilitating weakness in order to cover up his lack of melee combat abilities
