Talk:Tenser's transformation
From NWNWiki
When leveling up while under the influence of this spell, the temporary Cleave feat can qualify a character for the Blackguard PrC if all other prerequisites are met. Is that a bug worth mentioning? --Vrmh 14:55, 14 April 2007 (PDT)
Doesn't the caster have a -10 penalty to their primary spell-casting ability score while under the effects of this spell? --169.231.1.197 00:33, 13 June 2007 (PDT)

The +4 natural armor is like red dragon disciple that stack with barkskin, shadow shield, whatever and this spell also add 2 attack per round -ILKAY
[edit] Lost spells
? When I cast this spell as a level 12 gnome sorcerer it takes two spells away. I have 4 level 6 spells and if I cast this spell it goes to 2 level 6 spells. Is this normal? I haven't been able to determine anything causing it yet. --74.192.132.45 10 June 2008
- I believe that you lose benefits from all items when you cast this spell, is it possible that your charisma or number of spells is increased by equipment, that would explain the loss.

- There is a benefit that would give you more spells of a certain level? I looked and standard for a 12th level is 3 spells. After the transformation ends shouldn't it go back to 3 when the benefits return? I noticed flame weapon didn't come back after the transformation. I would think if it was a benefit issue that I should be able to cast the spell 3 times as a 12th level, but it is the same and I can only cast the spell 2 times total, using 2 spells each time. --74.192.132.45 10 June 2008
- in order to have 4 6th level spells you must be gaining bonus spells from items, as the maximum base charisma for that level(21) is not sufficient to grant bonus 6th level spells. You either have an item that grants extra charisma or an item that grants a bonus 6th level sorcerer spell directly. When you cast Tenser's Transformation you lose the benefits of that item, so you lose one 6th level spell by casting it, and one 6th level spell because you lose your bonus 6th level spell that was being granted by items. Unfortunately NWN does not keep track of spells lost in this way, so you will lose a spell whenever your number of bonus spells per day is reduced, even if you have already lost a spell that way before. You can avoid this by taking off all of your charisma increasing items and any items that grant bonus spells, or, possibly, by increasing your charisma using effects that will remain when you are polymorphed(so that you will still be eligible for all bonus 6th level spells), such as the Eagle's splendour spell, which is not an item...

[edit] Bug?
Specifics:
I used a scroll of Tenser's Transformation as an eigth-level bard with no additional weapon proficiencies. I was changed into the engine of destruction (Very cool, by the way) but I was unable to attack. I tried switching targets, pausing and unpausing, as well as re-loading the game and trying again.
Possible bug?

- There was a bug introduced in version 1.69 that prevents a character from attacking after polymorphing (Tenser's transformation counts as a polymorph). One solution is to cast the spell, cancel the polymorph, then cast the spell again — the bug only applies the first time a character polymorphs in a game session. Another solution is to use my Remove PC Properties override. Regrettably, I did not finish this particular fix before the final patch went into lockdown, so I was unable to propose it to the people working on the patch. :( --The Krit 19:05, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
