[QUOTE="Velenne, post: 514672, member: 1856"] This is a custom spell created by what will be a 13th level Sorceror/Summoner (Relics and Rituals I; using a celestial matron). I chose Conjuration because that's his specialty and that's where he would draw the knowledge from for its creation. It's also a way to explain how the caster gets the Ex and Su abilities. In creating this spell, I looked at Fiendform (from Magic of Faerun) and decided to balance something up against that. This one allows fewer forms, but the one form is does allow is very powerful (even sans Spell-like abilities). I also attempted to balance it using the guidelines from Tome and Blood and the Polymorph Self errata. Ultimately I ended up with a fairly short duration which can still be applicable but is not an "all-day" buff. It can't be used immidiately going into battle (see Casting Time), but only if battle can be forseen in the near future (similar to spells like See Invisibility). The penalty for failing the save isn't too strict, but could be given the situation. [/QUOTE]
