That is to say, if you tried to polymorph someone into a human Archmage, you'd end up with a basic human (not an Archmage). Similarly, you can polymorph someone into a Stone Giant, but not Steve the Stone Giant (who may or may not have his own unique abilities).I would allow True Polymorph to polymorph your simulacrum into something valid (like a Stone Giant), however the simulacrum limitations would still apply (no recovery of hp or other resources). If you want your Stone Giant simulacrum to recover HP, True Polymorph it again.</blockquote>
