[QUOTE="Otterscrubber, post: 953250, member: 4588"] [b]Re: Re: Re: Shapechange question[/b] That is not entirely correct. In the PHB page 237 under polymorph other it states that you do get the attack routines (claw, claw and bite; swoop and rake; and constriction; but not petrification, breath weapons, energy drains, energy effects, etc.) Unless this has been FAQ'ed, which is possible as I dont keep up on that stuff as well as others who read these boards. As far as what abilities you get, they sidestep things by saying you get the "natural" abilities of whatever creature you polymorph into. As if there wasnt enough gray area. Although it is clear you do get Extraordinary abilities with Shapechange, that much is clear. As far as turning into a troll and regenerating I think someone else pointed out that Regen only regenerates subdual damage, if you polymorph into a troll and you are damaged that damage translates into real damage you have sustained and cannot be regenerated. I have to read up on that again to make sure it is right but it sounds good to me in any event. I would hate to think that mages had a ghetto 4th level Heal spell at their fingertips. That does not sit well with me. And I'm a mage :) [/QUOTE]
