[QUOTE="nwn_deadman, post: 164981, member: 2087"] From the errata center… “What about tieflings and aasimar -- aren't they outsiders? For the Forgotten Realms, which has those races as PCs, we came up with the term "native outsider" - they're outsiders, but their home plane is the Prime Material, so you can bring them back from the dead with raise dead. You could also say that that makes them the equivalent of a PMP [prime material plane] creature for the purpose of polymorph.” The new polymorph spell listed in the errata center states that tieflings and aasimar are PMP (prime material plane) creatures, the same as being a Native Outsider. I take it to mean that they are treated as equal to humans when checking to see what type of creatures they can be polymorph into. This means that humans cannot polymorph into an Outsider and neither can a tiefling or aasimar. Now, here is the question. What happens when a Monk reaches 20th level or a Divine Disciple reaches 5th level or a Contemplative reaches 10th level, etc, etc. Are these characters now Outsiders in the sense that they are Native Outsiders (like tieflings and aasimar) or are they Outsiders? I know that Monks and Contemplatives receive DR 20/+1 and they are said to be Outsiders And Divine Disciples are said to be planet touched (same as tieflings and aasimar), but are they Native Outsiders or Outsiders? All of these characters can be raised with raise dead so I would think that they are Native Outsiders and cannot polymorph into an Outsider. What do you think and what is the reason for thinking it?
