My DM and I are trying to clarify if a dragon, specifically Bronze metallic but the chromatic and metallic all seem the same in missing this information, counts as a quadrupled for multiplying STR carrying capacity.

Can't find any clear info either way.


I'm curious as to how two polymorph spells with different durations would interact.

The rules for polymorph spells (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/Magic/#TOC-Transmutation-Polymorph) reads, in part,

"You can only be affected by one polymorph spell at a time. If a new polymorph spell is cast on you (or you activate a polymorph effect, such as wild shape), you can decide whether or not to allow it to affect you, taking the place of the old spell."

What I want to know is what the phrase "Taking the place of" means in the following situation:

My Wizard PC would like to use the Polymorph Any Object spell to become a medium sized dragon, as per the spell Form of the Dragon I, with a permanent duration. Now, there may be some times when becoming humanoid again would be convenient. If Alter Self was cast, I understand that I can choose to have the Alter Self spell override the Polymorph Any Object.

What I need to know is, does the duration of permanent on the Polymorph Any Object dragon form continue after the Alter Self spell expires, or is it gone?

I imagine there exist someplace rules for explaining spells with different durations overlapping, but I cannot find them.


I am building a Hayclon Druid for an upcoming game.

The important part of the archtype for this discussion is that it grants a bonded object (which happens to be a mask) like a Wizard. I got to wondering if I could gain a second bonded object such as a ring from Eldritch Heritage (Arcane), and came across a few forum discussions debating if a Wizard could get a second bonded object by the feat.

It appears the points that suggest a Wizard cannot get a second bonded object are tied to not having "spells known", and interpretations of the wording of the Wizard/Sorcerer stacking in the bloodline. I'm curious if being a Druid instead of a Wizard sidesteps these pitfalls, allowing for the entire Druid spell list to count at "spells known" and otherwise validating the build.

Input would be appreciated.
