[QUOTE="vlysses, post: 6808189, member: 82379"] Hi, i have seen all kinds of discussions around polymorph, but not about his question:How do you work with it at higher levels? The spell allows you to change member of your group into a beast (as in the monster group "Beast") with the same challenge rating as the group member has levels (or lower), correct?Say you have a lvl10 group. Druid casts polymorph on one member. The highest level "Beast" in the Monster Manual is the CR6 mammoth. so you while the wording would make it possible, you effectively cannot polymorph your companion to a lvl10 beast, only a lvl6 one? That would mean this spell scales really badly... I wonder if anyone knows if it's just a poor choice of words in the description, implying something that's not really availble? Or does someone have reliable evidence that what is actually meant is are "monsters" in general at that CR (as opposed to the specific sub group of "beast")? Perhaps that's the "natural" nerf of the spell, basically rendering it weaker at mid to higher levels, until you can access true polymorph...?Any insight would be much appreciated...Thx [/QUOTE]
