Also, if polmorphed into a human it would have an AC of 10. If we assume the twinked out transmuter is accompanied by a simlarly twinked out Great Sword Fighter (30 STR, +5 Keen Great Sword, Hastened, Weapon Focus & Specialization, Improved Critical, Power Attack) he can very nearly drop it in one attack sequence (average of 251.55 points, counting criticals) on average, if he does and all-out power attack. (note that if you can think of a monster to poly Mr. Fiend into with a worse AC than 10, he might be able to take him all the way down in one round--I thought of a Gelatinous Cube--275 damage!--but you can't Coup de Grace it then).However, Mr. Fiend isn't dead though--his regeneration still applies. Once he is down, a weapon that negates his Regen can be used to Coup de grace him, though.  Note that it still has all of it's other defenses (in particular, SR is Ex). Of course, disentagrating it would be even better--but you can't quicken a disentagrating while you can Quicken Poly Other.Aslo note that even if it survives the Polymorph, it has to dispel it to regain it's DR--if it Polymorph's back into Pit Fiend form, it won't regain it!Edit: If he's a Barbarian, he can actually pump out 275 damage against the Pit Fiend in Human form. Huzzah!</blockquote>
