[QUOTE="FrankTrollman, post: 1181837, member: 14225"] Then you'll be happy to know that Skip and Andy - the only "official" people of 3.5 - now say that your hit points change. Although this does not seem to have stopped people from playing otherwise for some reason. In 2nd edition, Monsters did not have stat blocks - so your stats didn't change to accomodate - nor could they. This was a problem, and was fixed in 3rd edition by giving complete stat blocks to all monsters. In 3rd edition, your hit points did not change when the spell was cast, but as soon as your constitution changed again your hit points were adjusted to the new constitution [i]exactly as if they had changed with the polymorph[/i]. It even suggests transforming into a high constitution creature and then adjusting your Con in MotW (which uses the same hit point rules for wildshape as the polymorph rules from that edition). This blatant silliness (taking off and putting on amulets of health in order to get the hit point advantages of high Con creatures) was solved by simply handing out hit points from new forms in 3.5. -Frank [/QUOTE]
