8th Ed. "On Foot" Slann

[Sacredless]

I'm sure you guys keep hearing this question over and over again, but why exactly are Slann not allowed to cast Transformation of Kodan...? I keep hearing that Slann are not considered to be on foot, but where does it say so in the rules...? Does that mean that all other items/spells/rules do not apply to Slann either...?

I've been working on a concept for a Beast Slann for a while and I have been looking into translations for "chimera" and "manticore" to something more lizardmen-like and not related to slann. It completely bums me out that I am not supposedly not allowed to use this rule.

It specifically says it in the FAQ that Slann can't do it. They are infantry, but not "on foot", as he's on a palanquin.

It's a dumb meta-rule imo, but there you are.

What FAQ and what do you mean by 'it'...? The transformation or any 'on foot' character exceptions?

I mean that not being able to transform because he's not on foot is dumb.

Honestly Gw is probably trying to stick to the "Slann refuse to touch the ground of a planet tainted by chaos thing"
