It seems to me that it's "brass dragon" whoops, in an AMF, revert to bard, then "oops" back to dragon. I am not sure that it's the same mechanic as "dispel magic" since it's a temporary removal of the magical effect, so I'll see if this question has been asked. Thanks, you got the gears in my brain to churn a bit. 😊 Here's a related Q&A | |
| Jun 6, 2021 at 10:52 | comment | added | Haravikk | Excellent answer; just one quick thing you might like to add is that Dispel Magic isn't the only way to end it, an Antimagic Field should also do the trick, as well as generally ruin the day of any high-level caster and suddenly let the party's high level martials come to the fore. | |

Your mind relies on your brain’s capacity and your body’s signals and hormones. So if you become a dragon, your human mindstate will soon be strongly modified by running on a dragon brain in a dragon body. You might start craving gold or human flesh through your new instincts. A frog brain couldn’t support a lich mindstate, effectively killing/brain damaging the lich. If on the other hand you’d stay the same, you’d have to be running on a magically simulated human body and remote control a creature. | |

added a stipulation to the spell, that states you can turn a player into a creature.
