Search his posts if you want to see. In hindsight it looks like an overreaction from me but it's been so long I can't remember, pretty sure him being a dick was not limited to that thread.
Anyways he created a second account later (and told me so), and I let him stay.
I'm guessing you're right. That would make a polymorph victory really risky to attempt. If you lost one of your rings or got an arm chopped off that timer would start ticking for you to get it back on!
Is it possible to permanently polymorph into another creature? Say if you are wearing rings of both polymorph and poly-control?
Has anybody ever done this and accomplished a victory as a non-human?
Also, what would happen if you were an orc, for example, and gained strength, intelligence, etc. and then accidentally became human again. If you tried to become an orc again would you lose all those stats you had gained before?
