[QUOTE="jgsugden, post: 8156104, member: 2629"] Ranged Bard, Cleric, Druid, Sorcerer, warlock and wizard - "Wait, you want me to stop casting my spells and be a beater... what happens when you lose concentration and I'm in the thick of the melee battle?" Ranged Rogue / Ranger / Warlock - "I don't want to be in the middle of the action, either". Monk - "You do realize I get a bunch of stuns, right?" Melee Defender - "I'm there to keep you from getting hit. If you turn me into an ape, they can end the spell by hitting you an I lose my abilities that help me protect you." Melee Striker - "My nova damage is better (Action Surge for a fighter, Double Smites for a Paladin, GWM, etc...). Plus, I get special abilities I can combo with my damage." There are times when Polymorph on an ally is awesome. My wizard used it to protect a fragile ally, to allow the ally to occupy a huge space, to draw the attention to the wizard (enchantment wizard with a great concentration check was able to do fun stuff when he was attacked). Honestly, this seems like an entire whiteboard discussion as I consider the assumptions about what your allies want you to do would rarely occur at actual tables at which I've played. [/QUOTE]
