>What practical jokes have we pulled using spells?

Hmmm, a human mage once turned a LoneStar copper into what you might call
a really big rabbit....he then proceeded to hit the rabbit as he drove
off from the scene of the crime (car had to resist light damage,
however...not everyday that you get to hit a 130 lb. rabbit).

This isn't a joke, but once my elven mage turned into a small horse, and
pulled a rigger on a skateboard and carried a sammie on its back (don't
you just hate it when yer car blows up?). That spell really saved our asses.

The same mage, in another run, walked into a bar as an albino tiger, just
for the hell of it....of course, there was a 500 -Y- cover charge that
the "owner" of the tiger had to pay.. :)

P.S. Anyone have any rules concerning how big the person is when he/she
is transformed into another animal? We kinda thought it weird that an
elf with 6 body could turn into a fly, so we don't allow it...
Usually, we give the mage a range of 0.5*body+body, both ways...so, I
could be a horse with 9 body (pretty good) or as small as something
with a 3 body (like turning a cop into a big bunny).

Comments?

The range for those sorts of spells is Body + or - 2.
This was clarified by FASA in an issue of Ka-Ge

Thanks dude...heck, I'm kinda proud of our 1.5*body rule being so
close to the real thing :)
Oh, what exactly is the Ka-Ge?

We don't go in much for practical jokes on each other - it's too
dangerous.

I remember a Mask being cast on someone to make them look like a
6 foot tall white rabbit.

I guess the Mask spell could be used for many hours of amusement
and mayhem.

The official rule is + or - 2 to body...therefore an elf with a body of 4
could be turned into a house cat with a bado of 2 or a bear with a body
of 6..As examples...
