[QUOTE="StreamOfTheSky, post: 5423984, member: 35909"] Having played a sorc who used Polymorph frequently (his underlying theme was "change" lots of transmutation spells), I found two things to be true that don't seem to be mentioned much whenevr people savage it on the internet: 1) You still have a d4 HD, if you try to go Rambo on an encounter, you won't like the results a good portion of the time. The more I pounced ahead into the fray, the more I found myself isolated and "target friendly." 2) Great as polymorph is on the caster, it's actually best on an actual melee class or rogue, who can further benefit from the form with combat feats or sneak attack. Just saying, I have a higher tolerance for powerful buff spells than I do other types (buffs you can share, I mean). The most optimal use of polymorph was always "cast it on someone else." Of course, I was a sorcerer, so I had the machine gun-like spell slots to cast it on lots 'o people. :) [/QUOTE]
