Oracle revelation Form of the Beast question


Rules Questions


This is the Form of the beast revelation power.

Form of the Beast (Su): As a standard action, you can assume the form of a Small or Medium animal, as beast shape I. At 9th level, you can assume the form of a Tiny or Large animal, as beast shape II.
At 11th level, you can assume the form of a Diminutive or Huge animal or a Small or Medium magical beast, as beast shape III. At 13th level, you can assume the form of a Tiny or Large magical beast, as beast shape IV. You can use this ability once per day, but the duration is 1 hour/level. You must be at least 7th level to select this revelation.

So could I assume the form of

Great Old One, Bokrug Bestiary 4
Bokrug
CN Large magical beast (aquatic, chaotic, extraplanar, Great Old One)

LOL super cheese!

Scarab Sages

This has come up before. Bokrug is a specific individual, and as such, you cannot take his form with a polymorph effect.

That's what I thought as well lol.


Even if you could become Bokrug, you'd only get:

50' Speed, 120' Speed, Darkvision 60', Low Light Vision, Constrict, Grab, Poison, Fire Resist 20, Acid Resist 20, a 10' space and 10' reach, and bite/claw/claw/sting/beard attack routine that does 4d8/2d8/2d8/3d6+poison/4d6 plus grab.

It's pretty good, but its hardly game breaking. I bet you can easily find better forms. Hell, I'd rather be a Megaraptor or Allosaurus anyway, for Pounce. Or a druid that gets plant shape for Quickwood or a Tendriculos. Considering only Magical Beasts, though, the Catoblepas gets an amazing Con poison breath weapon, has more reach, and only gets one fewer attack, the Cytillipede has a poison that dazes, the Kamadan has a breath weapon that puts people to sleep and pounce with its four attacks, Raggoth has five attacks, pounce, grab, and rake, the Sand Kraken has 10 tentacle attacks with 20' reach, grab, and constrict, the Spider Eater gets four natural attacks and paralysis poison, Tetrolimulus has pounce, three attacks, and a paralysis poison...I realize the base damage on Bokrug is high, but base weapon damage is a lot less valuable than some of the other things I mentioned (pounce, more reach, better poisons, etc.).
