There are, it seems, problems with Polymorph.
I don't think that this is much in debate at this juncture; the flurry of new books makes it really damned difficult to keep track of the capabilities of the many monsters that have been introduced, and balancing them? Not an easy task.
So, based on an idea that I read elsewhere, let me ask you folks how you would handle the following:
Polymorph as patterned after Summon Monster/Summon Nature's Ally. Specifically, a series of spells, Polymorph I through IX, that allows the caster to select from a small list of possible forms. Maybe 6 or 8 for each version of the spell.
Question the First: How long should the spell last? I'm thinking 1 minute/level, full round casting time.
Question the Second: What forms would you suggest for each level of the spell?
Question the Third: How does this idea sound, in general? Workable, or no? Desirable, or a bad idea?
