Succubus Polymorph Healing

[Caeleddin]

Or make it like what I did to the Druid Wildshape ability. You only get the healing part of the shapechanging once a day, regardless of number of times you shapechange. You get to choose when to apply the healing ability, though.

I made that rule when one of my PCs started shapechanging 2-4 times every night just before bed so that he can get healed without wasting spells.

I don't see why not. Of course, that's not exactly an intelligent thing to do in the middle of battle, unless it has some clever plan that involves using those shapes.

Clever plan: teleport away, shape shift until healed, teleport back, continue enthralling foes.

Why does polymorph even have a healing component? I'd just remove it.

It's one of the few ways demons can heal themselves. Keep it in. It's very fair.
It's no less cheesy than hitting your players with multiple mass charms. Besides, they don't have the hitpoints to take even a single good round of combat they need their spell like abilities to be used to the max.

I took it away. Polymorph healing never made sense to me. OTOH, I've given ALL tanarii demons a weak fast healing ability based on their HD, so the difference is probably negligible.

Polymorph healing never made sense to me.

Makes perfect sense to me. When you're changing shape anyway, you might as well take the opportunity to change that wound into a smaller wound.

In Amber DRPG Shapeshifting is actually one of the most powerful healing abilities.

You just repair your body. I also think, that this makes sense.

Of course, it must be limited from a balance-perspective, so the actual rule seems like a decent compromise.
