Persistant spell

[Corlon]

can you use polymorph self, arg, I'm going to read tome and blood

 

[Corlon]

nm, I can, I think polymorph self for 24 hours is kind of fun

 

[Lucius Foxhound]

yeah, but as Rashak said.. it'd be a waste for Poly Self. At 9th level, you can extend it so that it lasts for 18 hours! And that's just a one level increase...

Shield and spells that last 1 minute/level are what makes the feat useful...

Also, you can no longer choose to change forms as often as you want with P.S., making it much less useful.

In fact, I can't really think of any reason to choose P.S. over Polymorph Other.

There's one - PS has a duration (1 hr/lvl) and is dismissable. PO is permanent and non-dismissable. So if a caster uses PO on himself, he better be able to cast Dispel Magic or have someone else do it, in order to return to normal.

 

[James McMurray]

That's true. But most casters in a party environment would have access to dispel magic. Also, assuming that the access isn't his own, he could always cast PO again to become a human, then go buy a Dispel Magic.

[edit] Note: Applying Persistent Spell to the last 3 would require the ability to cast spells higher than 9th level. [/edit]

Of course, a Persistant Shapechange would take up a 13th-level spell slot...

Reading is fundamental.(his edit was there well before your post by the way)

Yeah, I know. I noticed it right after my own post came up. Ah, well. We're all bound to look like a fool now and again, I suppose it was just my turn.
