Message: <blockquote data-quote="jasin" data-source="post: 1479130" data-attributes="member: 7531">How much does polymorph adjust your equipment?SRD says (acutally, it from alter self, but applies to polymorph too): "Your equipment, if any, either remains worn or held by the new form (if it is capable of wearing or holding the item)".Most magic items resize to fit the wearer, so if a human polymorphs into a troll, he'd be able to keep his ring of protection despite it not being custom made for troll-use.But what about weapons and armour? Sure, a troll is capable of "wearing or holding" a longsword... but will it be a Medium longsword or will polymorph scale it to troll-size? Will a chain shirt be melded (as trolls are incapable of wearing Medium chain shirts) or resized (as trolls are capable of wearing chain shirts)?Enlarge person and righteous might, which are sort of similar, do resize equipment, but there the point is the resizing itself, not changing shape, so that's hardly conclusive.What about if no resizing is necessary, but common sense suggests some incompatibility between old equipment and the new form? Say a human you polymorphs into a satyr or a winged elf? Would he be able to keep using his designed-for-humans half-plate despite his new goat legs or elf wings?</blockquote>
