[QUOTE="1nsanem1nd, post: 6837513, member: 6808267"] Hello, I've been running a wizard in a recent campaign with my friends. Now at a point where can I pick the polymorph spell but once I started digging into the spell I started to have a lot questions. Doing some searching I could find some answer but not a lot of agreement on what the best course of action was. Right now I'm more concerned with the RAW version, but please let me know what you think RAI should be. Also, according to the Sage Advice I did read you can cast polymorph on yourself and maintain concentration. I saw that question come up in the past. 1. Arcane Ward - If a wizard has this spell inplace before the polymorph does any damage go towards that first then to the hp created from the polymorph spell? 2. Mage Armor - Does mage armor stack with the AC of the beast when in polymorph shape? Assuming that you had mage armor up before casting polymorph. 3. Concentration - If you cast polymorph on yourself and take damage. Does this require a concentration check every time you take damage while in the beast form? Does the concentration check use your CON check or that of the beast? Lastly, what are some fun things you've seen done with Polymorph spell? Sage Advice - August 2015 Critical Role Episode 31, Part 1. (I know Critical Role does more of homebrew ruleset but thought I post the link anyways. Its fun to watch the video but not taking it seriously.) Skip to about: 15:00 [/QUOTE]
