[QUOTE="Psion, post: 3240638, member: 172"] Alright Fenris. It's been a while since I've thought much about polymorph, but I think I have a few answers. Using the standard item rules for costs, linear would follow, yes. However, in the initial post in this thread, I say [i]no custom items[/i]. Changing the level is a custom item. This is not the exact type of thing I was targeting with this, but close enough. ;) So, my first inclination is to let you get away with the hydra thing if you want to earn it by giving your character the power. With the caveat that you have sufficient ranks in the knowledge skill identifying the creature (I forget what it is for magical beasts.) I am contemplating a house rule governing this... stand by. You normally choose to do iterative attacks or an attack form, not both. What that line refers to is giving you multi-weapon fighting feat, I believe. The FAQ suggests polymorph WILL do a hydra. That it may. I'm not going to work terribly hard to nerf you here, as I feel you guys are in for a tough fight as it is. I may let the healing stand so long as you don't pass it around the party and the errata doesn't address that. [/QUOTE]
