[QUOTE="nharwell, post: 14738, member: 1099"] Polymorph Self (revision, PHB p.237) Transmutation Level: Rgr 4, Sor/Wiz 4 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 action Range: Personal Target: The character Duration: 1 hour/level (D) As Alter Self, except that the character can assume any corporeal form from Diminutive to one size larger than his normal form, and may change form at will during the duration of the spell. Each change is a full-round action. Upon the initial change of form, the caster regains lost hit points as if having rested for a day. The caster may choose to merge his equipment into the new form, in which case it is non-functional (except for continuous magic-items). Otherwise, his equipment may change to match his new form. This will only change the equipment’s properties if a size-change is involved (e.g. changing into a large creature may increase the damage of the weapon, as it changes size as well). Only equipment carried or worn during the casting of the spell will be affected – i.e. the caster can’t pick up a sword after casting the spell and have it alter with subsequent form changes. Unlike Alter Self, the cast may add or subtract multiple features at once. The following features can be added (others may be added at DM’s discretion): Claws (rake for 1d6 damage) Darkvision Extra limbs (up to 6, may allow for constrict at 1d6 damage) Fangs (bite for 1d6 damage) Fins (swim speed 60 ft) Gills (breathe underwater) Low-light vision Natural armor (+4) Tail (+2 balance and climb, can slam for 1d4 damage) Wings (fly speed 60 ft, average maneuverability) Although the caster may freely alter his appearance, his physical attributes do not change except due to size. Assuming a medium-sized caster, here are the (total) stat adjustments due to size change: New Size Str* Dex Con NatArmor AC/Atk Large +8 -2 +4 +2 -1 Small -4 +2 -2 same +1 Tiny -8 +4 -2 same +2 Dim -10 +6 -2 same +3 *min Str 1 [/QUOTE]
