Does that attack even work against Shapeshifters and Dopplegangers? I would say no. Shapechangers can revert to their own form after subjected to an attack that alters it.
FrostHammer 02-26-07, 01:11 AM	But the attack also does Wis damage right?
AlanBruce 02-26-07, 09:44 AM	But the attack also does Wis damage right? Yes. A Shapehanger would suffer the wisdom damage as a result of the madness effect associated with the Chaos Beast (they aren't immune to that effect). But his appearance would remain the same.

I'd say their abilities work much like a chameleons: they can change the shape of their outside, but their inside just shifts to an arangement fitting the bodies shape. A chaos beast could still do a lot of nasty things to such a creature.
Domriso 02-26-07, 07:02 PM	Since a shapechange spell can fix the amorphous form imparted by a Chaos Beast most shapechangers would easily be able to return to their normal form. But the wisdom damage would still occur since even being an amorphous ooze form a short time has to be a bit maddening.
FrostHammer 02-27-07, 02:36 AM	So basically they have a better chance of running away since they can keep their form.
