[QUOTE="StreamOfTheSky, post: 5994037, member: 35909"] [url=http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic#TOC-Transmutation-Polymorph]Magic - Pathfinder_OGC[/url] "You can only be affected by one polymorph spell at a time. If a new polymorph spell is cast on you (or you activate a polymorph effect, such as wild shape), you can decide whether or not to allow it to affect you, taking the place of the old spell." Does that about cover things? Pretty clear polymorph spells weren't meant to stack, which includes using the form you're in from polymorph spell A to affect the parameters of polymorph spell B. Also, the polymorph rules are mum on whether you retain your creature type or assume the one of the form you take (a shame, really, that'd be REALLY simple to point out and matters a TON for rules adjudications), which I guess means it's up to the DM. If you rule he doesn't gain the new form's type, that means he's not really that creature, further undermining use of PAO as he sees it. As for your 50 hp ad hoc limit... Polymorphed creatures retain their hp, so that's just kind of an odd restriction. And too limited, I'm sure you could Beast Shape I into things with over 50 hp... [/QUOTE]
