If you want to be able to retain existing spells, or gain Su and Sp abilities, you need a higher-level version - maybe greater polymorph (L7). Shapechange, of course, does this too. Greater poly actually doesn't sound like a bad idea - you could either cast it on yourself and gain Su abilities, or cast it on another (willing) person and grant them Ex abilities only.That's the difference between polymorph self and baneful polymorph.QFT. And then all the powergamers got a hold of it and abused the hell out of it, and we ended up with a massive rewrite. Course, once I get done with it, it'll be massively rewritten again...Oh yeah.. I didn't mention this one, did I? I got into a discussion on another board with someone about this spell, and I came up with a fix - it's polymorph any OBJECT, not polymorph anyTHING. Therefore, exclude living creatures - you can change one object into another object (with duration being based on the severity of the change). You can't change objects into creatures or vice versa, nor can you change creatures into other creatures. This would likely drop the spell a level or two, but hey - if we add greater polymorph to take its place, who cares?</blockquote>
