[QUOTE="Mephista, post: 8795407, member: 6786252"] Would polymorph strike even work? Like, Polymorph reverses when the target is reduced to 0HP. So, you hit it, transform it, it takes damage and turns back into a normal ... whatever it was before. That sounds like an expensive way to give your enemy extra HP at high levels. I don't like judging a class's potential at levels less than 2% of people play at. Like, I get it, replace Polymorph with something like Hold Person. But that's still just something akin to paladin smite-spells and how little they get used. So I have to wonder if it would happen in the face of higher dps. Even if Hold Person was considered better, it wouldmean you're worse than soemone that can upcast it and Hold an entire battlefield, and make you a crappy Controller type.. I suppose there's also arguments that this effectively gives you QuickenSpell metamagic at no cost, able to use it the entire day without a resource cost like Sorcerer has to. So that makes this "strong" - personally, I don't see it that way. So, I've got to question just how much fun this is when you'll feel worse than a paladin or even a Valor Bard with Stunning Strike.
