Also if you change into a creature that is inherently evil (such as Devils, Demons, or other Outsiders of this type) you are going to have alignment issues to deal with.However just because a creature is stated as being evil does not mean it is "inherently evil".  I consider most creatures to be "inherently neutral" but they tend towards the alignment listed on the average. So this means ask if you are considering an "evil" type creature.On the positive side I am going to allow Constructs but with the stipulation that if you Transform into a Construct you will have a base 50% Arcane Spell Failure chance regardless of the Construct type chosen.  Further this option will not be open to your character until he is at least a 6th level Transmogrifist and I may bump it up to 7th level -- have not determined exactly which would be best.As a final note -- please keep in mind that I use the Monster Manual as a guideline and some creatures listed in the book are slightly different in my world due to my conceptualization of that creature. So far the most I have changed a creature has been about 25% and I don't forsee any creature taking on much more change than that.Lastly I will reserve the right to treat each creature on a case by case basis but on the positive side I may except creatures not listed in the base Monster Manual -- provided they at least come from one of the D&D books."So, short answer, SU abilities in, and so are Spell-Like, but I don't get extra spell slots (points) to cast them with, and some may have been changed to pure spells anyway...</blockquote>
