Custom Polymorph System

Items Management: #

In our system, all (*check below for exceptions) equipped items will merge on the poly-morphed creature:

1. If no weapon is found, gloves are merged (if the weapon is found and bracers are equipped, properties from bracers are merged too)
2. Off hand weapon damage properties are never merged, everything else is. If you have a Shield on your off-hand, those properties are merged too.
3. If the character is wearing a ranged weapon, its related ammo slot is taken and merged into the shifted creature weapons only if that ammunition is flagged as being unlimited (NOTE: ammo created from the “Unlimited Ammo” property on a ranged weapon are NEVER merged)
4. AC from different items is merged, but only the highest value is kept. It will count as Armor AC.
5. Bonus from items about abilities, skills, saves, do stack up to their caps.

Additional Settings: #

1. Monk abilities are disabled while you are shape shifted. You won’t benefit from monk custom AB scaling, AC bonus, speed, etc.
2. Each shape will get an additional Deflection AC bonus upon shifting. The AC is based on the polymorph type. Some shapeshift spells like Tenser Transformation and Shapechange have their own scaling, check Spells Changes for more info.
3. When a character reaches level 30 in the Shifter class, shifter related shapes will get improved, also the shifter gets 1 addition attack per round.
4. All shapes get additional AB and Deflection AC bonus if the character has Spell Focus Transmutation feats: +1 for Spell Focus, +2 for Greater Spell Focus, +4 for Epic Spell Focus. For pure shifters, Spell Focus gives +2, Greater Spell Focus gives +4 (a pure shifter cannot take Epic Spell Focus).
5. Our shapes do not provide any HP bonus.
6. You cannot level up while shape shifted.
7. Each shape will have at least 1 active special ability to use (check below for details)

Special Abilities and Spells Management #

While polymorphed, you receive (based on your shape, see below), one or more spells/spacial abilities.

The DC (difficulty class) for Special Abilities casted while Polymorphed vary based on the Polymorph Type and the Polymorph Spell used. (unless specified differently in the ability description itself)

• Default DC: 10 + (shifter levels + druid levels) / 2) + Wisdom Modifier

Polymorph Spells #

If the shape comes from a Polymorph Spell, such as – Tenser Transformation, Polymorph Self, Shapechange:

• Default DC: 12 + Ability/Spell Innate Level (eg. Fireball has an innate level value of 3) + Cast Class if available, or Major Class Ability Modifier (if cast from an item or via UMD) + Spell Focus Feats in the Special Ability/Spell School (if any)
