(--> thats the easy part)That means you can turn into an Ogre or a large Dragon (that means at max. a juvenile one)I guess everyone will agree it's perfectly possible to do so.But what if you turn into a Juvenile dragon but you have only 8 HD as caster? Do you have to choose a lesser form of that dragon or can you still be a large/juvenile dragon just with much less HD?Of course everyone can morph into an Ogre with 8HD but can you assume the form of a large creature (the spell allows that) and just have the lesser HD?Another example would be a Firegiant with 8HD?-My guess is yes. Because polymorph just gives you the wished form and doesnt care for the HD of the original creature it duplicates. (exept the HD cap that is necessary for balance of course)-What do you think? Please no rants about how overpowered polymorph is. Just rulewise explanations!</blockquote>
