<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/offtopic.gif" alt="" /> as usual <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" /> but this reminds of 1 of the Harpnel (very strange wizards from ad&d ) stories, one of the Harpnels saw an attack of mindflayers was imminent and promptly polymorphed his brain with his bum <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ROFL.gif" alt="" /> (for those who dont now Mindflayers/Illithids when attacking in melee use their long octopus like tentacles, that sprout from there face to burrow under the enemies skin usually the head and suck the brains out which then promptly ends in a permanent Intelligence decrease) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />
Other example:
Classic AD&D spell Featherfall
purpose to alleviate the unwnted landing after falling from a great height
this spell then lets you float down to the ground.
Harpnel variety of FeatherFall
while falling cast said spell and conjure a large mountain of feathers preferably under the fallee <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ROFL.gif" alt="" />
