We have a discussion in our group. Our cleric was being blessed (the spell) by the paladin and shortly after polymorphed (also the spell) into a T-rex by the wizard. Is the T-rex still blessed?Or is the T-rex a different entity, and therefor not blessed?
If Bless and Polymorph come from different spellcasters and both maintain concentration, the target is affected by both spells. Even polymorphed, the target is still the same entity.
If Bless and Polymorph come from different spellcasters and both maintain concentration, the target is affected by both spells. Even polymorphed, the target is still the same entity.
Magical effects continue unless there's a reason for them to stop. For bless to end, it needs to expire, the caster lose concentration, or be dispelled. Certain other abilities can end magical effects, but merely having a different magical effect doesn't stop the previous ones.
I could see the argument for true polymorph cancelling bless if you turned the creature into an object (which would no longer be a valid target for bless).

Hi,

Clarification would be nice.
