Plant Shape I Error


Rules Questions


13 people marked this as FAQ candidate.

I believe I found something missed in the errata. Perhaps it just hasn't made it into the 1st printing errata PDF that I looked at.

According to the Plant Shape I spell, (pp. 322-323) Changing into a small plant creature gives a +2 *size* bonus to Constitution.

Changing into a medium plant creature offers a +2 *size* bonus to Strength, and a +2 *Enhancement* bonus to constitution.

I am assuming that the mention of changing into a medium plant creature offering an enhancement bonus to constitution is an error. Looking ahead to Plant Shape II, changing into a large plant offers a +2 *size* bonus to constitution, and changing into a Huge plant with Plant Shape III offers a +4 *size* bonus to constitution.

Looks like it got skipped over on accident to me. From when they did the change from enhancement to size bonuses.

Did not know that. Cool, that works.


Necro bumping this. I noticed it today and this is the first thread discussing the issue that came up in a search, it seems it has still not been fixed on the PRD at least.

Plant Shape I to Medium size is the only "Plant Shape [X] [Size choice]" that lists an enhancement, not size bonus, to Con.

-> Has that been confirmed as a typo/fixed in a FAQ or Errata I'm not finding?
-> Was it just forgotten about?
-> Is it intentional* at this point?
*(which would seem really odd, seems like it must be an error, but it has been left unchanged online for 5 years now.)


I hesitated before clicking the FAQ button since requesting official clarification on what seems like an obvious error in a rarely used spell seems almost petty somehow. On the other hand, fixing the error doesn't seem like it would be very difficult either.
