[QUOTE="Kahuna Burger, post: 882912, member: 8439"] Damn, beat me to it. While this would be an interesting spell, its not polymorph as it stands. Its possible that a truely wonky type (like myself) would respond to this by making polymorph do what most people assume it should (change one thing into another in a way that makes consistent sense) and raising the level slightly to acount for extraordinary abilities. Then you add a spell even lower level than polymorph and call it topolomorph to do the things sigil is suggesting. Which could not turn a person into a fish that can survive in water, or a dog into a snake with working poison glands (or to a certain extent a giant spider into a drow, since bone and skin are organs) but could do mammal to mammal pretty well. Just out of curiousity, do people apply this interpretation of the polymorph spell to wildshape, esp the elementals? If so... um, what is the point of the ability? Seems like it would be easier to do a "megan from excalibur" thing and let the druid just get a little bigger/smaller/stronger/faster/add claws (but not multiple attacks... dear god, does anyone not let druids use multiple attacks in wildshape?) Or is there a big ol' adendum to wildshape to make it not the same as polymorph? Blink Blink.... whoa what about scent? Kahuna Burger [/QUOTE]
