:What it means is that you can polymorph into a nymph and steal back your amulet of life saving from the nymph knowing that the nymph won't steal anything from you while you're in nymph form (it seems nymphs seem to go by a code of honor not to steal from their own kind; it doesn't retaliate when you steal from it anyhow). I admit the wording in the article is unclear about this. I'll clean it up. —[[User:Shijun|Shijun]] 08:23, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

Stealing from a nymph while polymorphed as a nymph

"Polymorph into a nymph and steal it back This has the added advantage that the nymphs' steal attack does not affect other nymphs." I dunno if this works or not, but it seems like there should be some reassurance that a player polymorphed into a Nymph can steal from a normal Nymph, maybe backed up by the code or something? Right now it seems like it contradicts itself.4.90.14.45 04:20, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

What it means is that you can polymorph into a nymph and steal back your amulet of life saving from the nymph knowing that the nymph won't steal anything from you while you're in nymph form (it seems nymphs seem to go by a code of honor not to steal from their own kind; it doesn't retaliate when you steal from it anyhow). I admit the wording in the article is unclear about this. I'll clean it up. —Shijun 08:23, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
