Polymorph crippling me
Posted: Fri Oct 11, 2019 6:47 pm
Hey everybody! So I'm playing a polymorph gish. Slow, but cant die. Fun if you want to pretend to be a FS and look like a zombie. Right now I'm around 13 CL is, and I'm about to get 7th level spells. I'm farming in the Gauth Grottoes, in the upper dark, which has it's own issues I'm going to bring up.
My major problem is something that has happened around 2-3 ish times. So I apply buffs, in this order
Enlarge person, Protection from evil. Eagles Splendor, Fox's cunning, mirror imagine, Owl's wisdom, protection from arrows, improved mage armor, spiderskin, Deez's repulsive shadow barrier, polymorph, stoneskin, mind blank, greater heroism and true seeing. Then I turn into an unkillable troll and tickle them to death with 8 damage smacks. Sometimes I use reduce person.
I often pop out of the dungeon, as if a couple of these buffs from off I can die in a few second. Mage armor goes away, and creatures are hitting me 3 times a round and a die. Same thing with barrier and stuff. So I pop out and rebuff. This has also happened mid fight. Got jumped by 4 enemy's and beaten to death.
The problem, is a permanent, till death or server reset, of at least -10 str and -6 ish dex. Sometimes more, sometimes less. This, of course, will kill you dead, or make killing monsters impossible. carrying around even my normal armor puts me at red, and the troll form, which base had 19 str, is less than 10. So I'm stuck, pretty much locked out of the server, as I cant move, cant fight, and due to me being an UD character, I cant always get RP
Needless to say, this is a bit annoying. I sit down for a nice long session, like 9-2 in the morning. And I'm stuck, trapped. So far, a DM has not been on while this has happened. Its common enough to be worrisome. Every time I buff, I wonder if I'm going to be locked out of playing yet again. and I cant not buff, Its kinda my whole build.
Sorry for the long post, thanks again for your time.
