A quick rundown of my understanding of Polymorph Spell for SFS, please tell me if I am wrong.

Hi All,

Having read the various Alien Archive texts for the Polymorph spell I felt I can sum up the way it works in SFS. If this is wrong please let me know as I am truly at a loss as to how this is meant to work otherwise.

You choose 4 forms for each level of the spell (4 level 1 forms, 4 level 2 etc)

You can only use those abilities listed in the said level of the spell. For example, a level 1 form can only have the following rules:

Animal or Human type
Has the option, but isn't required to: Of granting one of the following: DR1/Magic 1, a single energy resistance of 2
Has the option, but isn't required to: Of granting either a land speed of 30 or a swim speed of 20
Has the option, but isn't required to: Of granting Either Low light vision or tracking (Scent)

Nothing else is changed for the target of the spell, HP, RP etc.


I can't find the SFS specific rules allowing it in with restrictions, but I don't recall anything preventing you from getting the free movement mode and option of a free natural attack.

5/5 5/55/55/5

you can also gain an extra ability if you can turn into something real rather than you made up.
