Here is what we have so far. Druid Wildshape: This ability functions like the polymorph spell, except as noted here. Polymorph Spell: This spell functions like alter self, except that you change the willing subject into another form of living creature. The subject gains the Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution scores of the new form but retains its own Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores.Alter Self: You retain your own ability scores. Your class and level, HIT POINTS, alignment, base attack bonus, and base save bonuses all remain the same.It seems to me, since it says that you gain the Con score of the animal you change into in the Polymorph description, that you would gain or lose HP based on your shape change. This is a noted change from Alter Self. But it never says in Polymorph that you DO gain the Hit Points. I think this is what we are stuck on. I seem to remember in 3.0e that you got the Con increase, but it only affected Con checks and Fort saves, but not HP. That doesnt really make sense to me. You are tougher in some ways... but not others?Is there any official ruling on this, or are we missing some key text here. Thanks for any help.</blockquote>
