Message: <blockquote data-quote="Camarath" data-source="post: 1513845" data-attributes="member: 11987">So you believe that the provision that one's hit points remain the same does not apply to Polymorph. If that is the case why does this appear in the 3.5 DMG errata?PolymorphDungeon Master’s Guide, page 297Problem: The description of the polymorph effect does notaccount for changes to that spell.Solution: Delete the paragraph beginning “Creatures thatpolymorph themselves with an ability . . .”Also, replace the last three paragraphs with the followingtext:Unless stated otherwise, creatures can polymorph into formsof the same type or into an aberration, animal, dragon, fey,giant, humanoid, magical beast, monstrous humanoid, ooze,plant, or vermin form. Most spells and abilities that grant theability to polymorph place a cap on the Hit Dice of the formtaken.Polymorphed creatures gain the Strength, Dexterity, andConstitution of their new forms, as well as size, extraordinaryspecial attacks, movement capabilities (to a maximum of 120feet for flying and 60 for nonflying movement), naturalarmor bonus, natural weapons, racial skill bonuses, and othergross physical qualities such as appearance and number oflimbs. They retain their original class and level, Intelligence,Wisdom, Charisma, hit points, base attack bonus, base savebonuses, and alignment.Creatures who polymorph keep their worn or held equipmentif the new form is capable of wearing or holding it.Otherwise, it melds with the new form and ceases to functionfor the duration of the polymorph.</blockquote>
