Hey guys. I got a power gamer that's been talking about a spell combo that just seems confusing to me.
My player is a transmutation wizard and is considering using Form of the Dragon to become a dragon, then cast Permanency. Afterward he uses the dragons Alter Self ability to change back into human.
My question comes from the fact that both these spells are polymorph spells. Core rule book says that the next polymorph spell overwrites the next, to paraphrase.
His goal is to be a medium sized creature with base stats of an adult dragon. He says that it works because the Alter self spell would overpower the previous one. Since alter self doesn't change base stats, would he keep the Dragon stats?
