[QUOTE="pendril, post: 244488, member: 5707"] I do my best to stick to the D&D core rules as written (including official errata). I want to give my players the full 3rd Edition experience, warts and all. This allows everyone to make up their own minds about the rules, and better prepares us for tournament play. The polymorph self spell is too powerful, but easily fixed. Consider shortening the duration. Otherwise, your wizards/sorcerers will probably choose to remain polymorphed most of the time. Another way to limit any of the polymorph spells without changing the rules outright is to require careful study of the new form. This might include the capture and study of a live subject, dissection, library research, etc. Because of the paperwork hassle, I'd also like to drop the "buff" spells altogether (Cat's Grace, Bull's Strength, and Endurance). These are cast so often, they've become a standard "cocktail" which the player invoke before every adventure. [/QUOTE]
