[QUOTE="Iku Rex, post: 469733, member: 752"] :rolleyes: The spell does not give you the feats of the new form. Therefore, you don't get the feats of the new form. The Sage once claimed that constrict wasn't an extraordinary ability, ([url]http://homepage.mac.com/guyf/DnD/Sage/PolymorphAlterSelf.html[/url]) but since then both the MM errata (no change) and the MM2 (constrict is still [ex]) confirms that it is. (He also says that rake [ex] isn't extraordinary - probably because there is a separate, unrelated natural weapon called "rake", and natural weapons are not extraordinary abilities.) Basically, you don't get any ability labeled as extraordinary. You may want to look at the changes made to polymorph in the PsiH errata: [url]http://www.wizards.com/dnd/article.asp?x=dnd/er/er20010819a[/url] .
