Maybe the tenticles could grapple. Was that what you were getting at? I'm not especially thinking the tenticles would be good at grappling, but they could have a fast reaction time and balance out slow movement of the creatures "foot".This entire monster is a nightmare. It would be a lot easier if it just did two things instead of having a hybrid state that lasted for an unknown period.It also has the changing HD thing, that we have decided to drop.I'd like to see the text of the Polymorph spell from that edition of D&D. If there are elements of the old school Polymorph that match the abilities of the monster, I'd say we duplicate those parts of the 3rd edition Polymorph ability (or spell). But if the old school spell differs from the imorphication process, then we should flag the Polymorph spell/ability up as a red herring and move on.I quite liked the idea of it not changing size too. I don't think I've seen many other creatures that do that.Hmm. Here is an idea. Instead of altering the monster by one point of AC per round, why not switch to altering one feature/ability per round? That way you could have one set of stats for the imorph form and change one stat to the attacker's stat per round. When all the stats in the list were changed it could look identical to its attacker.If the imoph took on the general shape of its attacker in the first round the players would see the transformation start even if they killed the creature before it turned into one of them.Thats funny, because I read the first paragraph as only applying after a battle was over or if an imorph became too injured to keep up its altered apperance. So I was thinking of the creature changing straight away. The word "immediately" made me think there would not be a delay.I suppose it could change back into its original form first, but as you say that might be too slow for it to finish changing into its first form.</blockquote>
