Your shape slowly reverts to your natural race.
As you can see, while an ape I can't seem to move.

This was in the howling peak and I've encountered it elsewhere. I polymorph into an ape and it behaves as if a new character entering the rest of the game from the training area with no desc.

My other forms are still fine and it only seems to consistantly happen with ape form.

thanks for reading.
I trained up double-edged bananas because the uber-plantain of doom I scored from the beehive quest was the best weapon in the game. Now it's being treated like a bug and they have gimped its damage! That's not fair! My character is ruined!
