Noob question: What does polymorph do?

[mr.pink]

I have a question that should be really easy to answer and i would look it up but im at my freinds house and i dont have any of my books with me. How does polymorph work in 4e?

Not sure what you mean.

Polymorph is a keyword in 4e, for powers that change a target’s physical form in some way.

In most cases, none of your defenses or abilities change, and you are limited to certain types of actions.

Do you have a specific polymorphing power in mind? Class?

It's pure fluff.

The power let's you add Wis to speed and shift 2 squares.

Also you look like a wolf. That might be helpful for hiding etc.


Note that you can only use one polymorph power at a time.

Mostly flavour.

As the text for Unleash the Silent Predator says, it allows you to add your WIS bonus to your speed and get a free 1 square shift when you move.

Everything else stays the same, as far as I know. So even though you're a wolf, you do [W] damage, etc.
