[QUOTE="StreamOfTheSky, post: 5625369, member: 35909"] It doesn't matter if armor carries over, you have arcane spell failure to worry about. The buckler is animated, so when you get that, it would stick around. For body armor, you use the mage armor spell, and once you can afford +5 or better, switch over to bracers of armor. You can't polymorph to take the form of templated creatures, and lycanthrope itself IS a template, so...yeah. Girallon is decent too, yeah. That wasn't an exclusive list, just some nice things I found in a 5 minute skim of the monster index. It does have only 22 str and size large, though. Four arms is nice, but the rules to use them on a weapon for higher str multiplier are in Savage Species, so all those 2 arms are good to you for is some weak secondary claw attacks. Being ape-like, I'm not sure a DM would them wield a weapon for that matter, either. And yes, you need 7 wizard levels to get polymorph. My build has you starting as dwarf or gnome Transmuter (transmutation specialist wizard) 7. From there, you dip Fighter so you can enter Eldritch Knight. Definitely take Fighter at if you want a spiked chain, you can go into Wizard 8 before Eldritch Knight if you want another CL before going in, Wizard 8 won't hurt your BAB. [/QUOTE]
