The poly with benefits has a limited duration while the baneful is permanent and in no way beneficial (always bad). The bonus to the spell save vs "form-of-inevitable-death" is nice. Turning an enemy Wiz into a guppy and then continuing the battle is different from turning them into a toad and then running over to squash them. Do you have any idea of the hide bonus for being tiny? And if its tall-grass you can forget it lol. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />As far as balance issues, no longer can fighters be polyed into trolls and wander the landscapes willy-nilly. A limited duration means it has to be cast every day if desired and this drains a casters spells for the given benefits, as it should be.Personally I prefer the house rule of the Ol' "look like a troll, begin thinking your one" bit...<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
