Death by cow AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[Corlon]

Is this possible.

Cast polymorph other on a cow to make it water (or if you can't morph it into anything but creatures, make it a chicken and then cook it.) or some other eatable material. after someone eats it, cast dispel magic and have the cow appear inside their stomach (a bit big wouldn't you say!)
Wouldn't this harm the person or possibly make them explode. If not a cow, how about a tyranosauras or.. dire elephant or something.

Is there any problem with this, or is this a very creative way I have come up with to kill people??

IIRC, if anything leaves the polymorphed creature, this piece takes its normal form. So, if you rip the feathers from the chicken (wich was a former cow), they'll become hairs. If you cut off a wing, it will morph back into a leg, and so on.
On the other hand, if that chicken is swallowed intact and then target of a Dispel Magic...well, see rule 0.

 

[Corlon]

well that would make sense. What about water, or a cockroach (with shrink cast on it or something), slipped into the food or something.

You can't Polymorph Other into water, or anything other than an animal, and it has to follow the usual size limitations (no more than one size larger).

If the animal dies it returns to its original form (so no cooking the chicken), and parts separated revert (as said before). Although, this thing has been errata'd so many times that your mileage may vary.

Metamorphosis (Psion 5) lets you do inanimate objects, but that's a variant of Polymorph Self so is unsuitable for your purposes.

Polymorph Any Object (Wiz/Sor 8) would work, I suppose, but once you start talking about level 8 powers, something like you propose would be the LEAST effective way to kill the guy.
The better way, I'd say, would be to find some sort of food that doesn't go bad quickly and tends to get swallowed more or less in one piece. Let's say a small nut. Bind spells to the nut, triggered to go off when swallowed.
Enchant the nut to Enlarge itself once swallowed (one use, triggered level 2 spell). It would enlarge while in the person's throat, possibly choking them to death. But, it wouldn't leave any evidence behind (once the Enlarge wore off it'd shrink back to its normal size), and if it wore off before killing the person, their body would digest the nut.
Or, if you don't want subtlety, stick a more powerful spell on it. Fire seeds, anyone? If you're familiar with Gutroot, playing with what they digested is already a nasty way to kill someone.

yeah well, it could work with some tweaking, how abou turning them into a kobold, the guards shoot their crossbows and...

does this seem udderly ridiculous to you all?

okay, I apologize in advance...

When in doubt, polymorph your enemies into slugs, and carry a salt shaker.

Bovine intervention!

In a recent game at GenCon, the druid wild shaped himself into a sparrow... flew into the demon's mouth... let himself get swallowed... and turned back to normal!

SPLOOCH. One dead monster!
