DC of Poison special ability of a Polymorph Form


Rules Questions


So I know that for monsters that have this ability, as with most special abilities, that the DC calculation is 10 + 1/2 Racial HD + Con Modifier, however I was wondering if things such as Poison, Breath Weapon, Horrific Appearance, etc. all fell under the ruling in the Polylmorph subsection of the Transmutation section of the Magic rules, that says :"The DC for any of these abilities equals your DC for the polymorph spell used to change you into that form."

It doesn't mention those (poison, breath weapon, etc...) in the area above that ruling, in fact it only talks about gaining "a number of other benefits, including movement types, resistances, and senses," but never specifically mentions anywhere in that section any offensive abilities. I'm assuming you use this line to calculate them, especially sense none of the things the section actually talks about even have save DC's for them... Just wanted to make sure I was understanding this correctly and that it is the correct ruling


You're good. "Including" does not mean "limited to".
