Sylvan sorcerer and polymorph on my pet?

[Lord Monty]

Odd question if I say polymorph through our spell link would my big cat retain his pounce ability? In say dragon form... I think it's unlikely but I'm unsure.

Means using certain beasties might be preferable for this build if only base stats carry through, a megalocerous(big elk) might be better. I'm probably going to stay cat personally either way but numbers matter to a lot of people.

your main isuue is double:
1. the animal is still a animal.... hence, turning one into a dragon might panic it.
2. it's INT is low....

Quote:

While under the effects of a polymorph spell, you lose all extraordinary and supernatural abilities that depend on your original form (such as keen senses, scent, and darkvision), as well as any natural attacks and movement types possessed by your original form.

I'd say that's fairly solid on you losing pounce. It's a special attack of the original form.
