True Metamorphosis clarification

[Colfenor]

Hello community,

I am currently playing an Egoist Psion in our campaign and I have a question about the way True Metamorphosis works. In case someone doesn't know the description is:

"As minor metamorphosis, except you gain two menu
choices from the Enhancement Menu C and two menu
choices from Abilities Menu C from major metamorphosis.
As a swift action, you can change your menu choices while
the duration of this power is in effect.
While under the effects of this power, you can choose
to become one of the following types, with the associated
benefits: aberration, dragon, fey, humanoid, magical beast
or monstrous humanoid. As a swift action, you can change
what type you are while the duration of this power is in
effect."

My question is that, since I can gain a creature type like dragon and all its benefits, do I also get the creature's HD (example d12) or its BaB, or do I just get the racial traits?

Thanks in advance

You won't get d12 nor the BAB bonus.

An easy way to see what you get is: imagine you're a dragon and see what benefits you'd have if you only had psion class levels (and no racial hit dice etc).

So you won't get this:

Quote:

* d12 Hit Die.
* Base attack bonus equal to total Hit Dice (fast progression).
* Good Fortitude, Reflex, and Will saves.
* Skill points equal to 6 + Int modifier (minimum 1) per Hit Die. The following are class skills for dragons: Appraise, Bluff, Climb, Craft, Diplomacy, Fly, Heal, Intimidate, Knowledge (all), Linguistics, Perception, Sense Motive, Spellcraft, Stealth, Survival, Swim, and Use Magic Device.

But you do gain this:

Quote:

* Darkvision 60 feet and low-light vision.
* Immunity to magic sleep effects and paralysis effects.
* Dragons breathe, eat, and sleep.

Then this part of the power is really stupid. I mean, almost all of the types listed there have similar traits. And for the love of God, humanoids do not give anything!
