A spell of humiliation, used against opponents not worthy of a stand-up fight, Rodinn’s Rhyming Doom whimsically imitates Polymorph Any Object. Except as details below, this spell functions as a Polymorph Any Object.

Rhyming Doom affects 1d4 items +1 item per 5 levels, polymorphing them into something that rhymes with their respective names. The game master makes a list of the 10 most prominent items in the creature’s possession and rolls 1d10 off the list to determine each item polymorphed. Reroll duplicate results. If the creature has no possessions on its person, the creature itself is polymorphed (in this case, try to rhyme with a creature’s proper name first, then its race or species).

Full rhymes are preferred, but close approximations will work if necessary (rapier with paper, for example). The game master may find a rhyming dictionary helpful in his adjudicating the results of this spell. The creature affected by this spell makes the saving throws for each item individually, using his own will save, modified by any magical bonuses the items may have.

Magical abilities of items polymorphed this way are retained, even stretching the boundaries of common sense. An arcane archer may find himself using his +1 long hoe to hurl sparrows of slaying, while an Orcish warrior may have to cast aside his +1 flaming dire snail. Or he may just eat it.

This spell does not affect oranges.
