[QUOTE="Tempuswolf, post: 843545, member: 1712"] [b]Re: Polymorphing[/b] The polymorph changes are dissappointing in one more respect. I had hoped that they would end the divergence between wildshaping and polymorphing. I dont mind there being a difference in things like duration or viable target forms, but what I never understood was the difference, after the superceding wildshape rules in [b]MotW[/b] came out, between a druid turned into a lion and a wizard turned into a lion. Why the druid would get low light vision and pounce but the wizard would not? Why wildshaping allows Extraordinary abilities and polymorphing does not? If you take a step back from the game, these in-game rules are simulating something going on in the fantasy world. What is going on that makes such a big difference in druid-lions and wizard-lions, explained in the fantasy world's terms? This doesn't seem like weeding out inconsistencies to me. Since we are looking at 3.5 through smokey glass at best, perhaps my fears are virtual. [/QUOTE]
