[QUOTE="steeldragons, post: 6645805, member: 92511"] Well, no it can't "just as easily be" since the polymorph says, quite clearly, "The target's game statistics, including mental ability scores, are replaced by the statistics of the chosen beast." Why/where are you getting that it should be the monk's[or werebear's] [edit for clarity] [I][B]Int/Wis/Cha [/B][/I][/edit] in the 'morphed body? The werebear's "mind/spirit/whatever gets moved in Magic Jar" gets put back in its body...which is now, unfortunately, a bumblebee. It will have the brain of a bee until it regains its own shape (which, as written, really would be as soon as anyone swats/kills it/reduces its HP to 0). OH! Actually...you can't polymorph a werebear. Shapechangers always make their save against Polymorph...SO the Fistandantalus example is null/void. Someone casts on Fist-in-werebear body....that CAN'T turn him into a bumblebee [or, for in-stroy/humor's sake, I would say they transform into a bee momentarily. Party cheers. Then an instant later, reforms into the werebear body as normal. Party boos/messes their breeches.) [/QUOTE]
