Read a story about a shifter druid (3.5e) that jumped off a cliff and transformed into a whale.
Landed on an orc village killing all inhabitants.
Cleverly cheesing the rules is a feature, not a bug.
Also the peasant rail gun cones to mind, lol.
Cleverly cheesing rules is up to the game master's discretion, while transforming into a whale sounds like a very reasonable, if overpowered, interaction, the peasant rail gun wouldn't fly in most campaigns. Not that it makes it any less hilarious.
I had a DM that wouldn't let me use 2 Immovable Rods as monkey bars to cross a chasm.
I don't play with that loser anymore.
Pretty sure the official rules have killed off the idea of the peasant rail gun. Now a barb raging before impact to halve falling damage, or doing the same thing with a Moon druid in 5e, that's just exploiting the rules.
