[QUOTE="Spatzimaus, post: 376258, member: 3051"] What you COULD do is make Polymorph spells work like Teleport; that is, if you're very familiar with the race in question, roll on one table, if you've only heard about it or seen it once roll on another. If you roll "On Target" you get the creature you want. Off Target means you get something similar but not exact. Similar Area means you get something that kinda resembles what you want but isn't the same family. Mishap means you get something with only a few characteristics in common, and you can't change back until the duration ends. (This only works if you use the errata that doesn't let you repeatedly change forms) So, let's say you want Stone Giant. On Target means you get Stone Giant. Off Target means you turn into a Hill Giant. Similar Area means you get an Ogre. Mishap means you turned into a giant slug or something (hey, it has the word "giant"!). You could also then add level 6 spells, "Polymorph Other Without Error" and "Polymorph Self Without Error" to bridge the gap between the level 4 ones and the level 8 Polymorph Any Object. [/QUOTE]
