Yes, again I know it's odd but I need to know what I'm permanently stuck as.
Edit: Actually did the polymorph or reincarnate? Because polymorph dosn't change stats or convey innate abilities if memory serves. Naimah fucked around with this message on 05-17-2004 at 02:35 AM.
First off, what level character was Polymorphed? If anything higher than level one, I'd say you're seriously going to have to sit down and recreate him, rather than just modifying stats.
A Pixie is.. what.. CR 2?
I'd take its base MM stats (7 Str, 18 Dex, 11 Con, 16 Int, 15 Wis, 16 Cha) and level up the character from there, to wherever they were as their normal race.
When you want to get into the complete-game-mechanic-destroying aspect, remember this: Pixies are under a permanent Improved Invisibility. Sleep, or any of the other abilities be damned, permanent Improved Invisibility is the match in the powder keg of gamebreakers.
It's not something people hear about.

We got sucked into a swamp while going down a river. After battling some spiders (and blowing 'em up with some good greek fire), we found a house. In the basement, we found some potions. One of which gave the 4'9" elf in our party fairywings, the other elf some regenerative properties, and me permanent invisibility.. even on my stuff (After one round of posessing it.).
It was awesome, until he tricked me into getting it removed.

You will gain the physical and natural abilties of a Pixie. You will NOT get any mental, supernatural, spell, or spell-like abilities (though you do keep your own).
So, you're gonna be small, fragile, hard to hit, and flutter. You don't get the really fun stuff that Pixies have.
I don't have the MM at the moment, sorry.

This one time, at Ja'Deth Issar Ka'bael camp:
Wait...I too am unclear. Is this a polymorph effect or is this some sort of bizarre reincarnation? If it's a polymorph, just get it dispelled. If your GM did it to be a prick, kick him in the nuts. If this is a result of you pissing him off...you're in a sticky situation, game mechanics aside.
Polymorph is a permanent change.

Says the improved invis is a natural ability.

I don't think so. Pretty sure it has a 1 min/level or something like that. At school so no access to books though.
quote:Polymorph Other (3.0) is permanent. Polymorph (3.5) has a fairly limited duration. Different members of the Polymorph family also have different descriptions, which means the details of which abilities one does or doesn't get will vary. Then there's the lesser and greater spells in the same family, such as Shapechange (L9 spell), and the Reincarnation spell, which have different sets of criteria entirely. This is why saying he was "polymorphed" provides too little detail.
Alaan really knows where their towel is...

From the sounds of it, though, we're looking at Polymorph Other, v3.0. `Doc fucked around with this message on 05-17-2004 at 08:14 AM.

Ah. Hadn't touched 3.0 spells for a while so was thinking of the 3.5 version of it.
Polymorph, in other words, should be able to be dispelled, as per the usual rules regarding what spells trump what other spells. I'm not saying it should be easy, just that I don't think there's anything in the rules stating it should be permanently crippling. Something resulting in a permanent change of ground state would require Permanence or some equivalent higher-end spell.

They get several stat adjustments, natural invisibility, ability to cast Faerie Fire more or less at will, and several other abilities (based on whether they're Seelie or Unseelie), at the cost of a +3 Level adjustment (this book came out pre-3.5 and Savage Species). If Doomie wants me to I can type up the pertinent information, but I don't think it's necessarily what he's looking for.

Stat wise, you're boned if you like high Str.
Str: 7, Dex: 18, Con: 11
AC: 16 (+1 size, +4 Dex, +1 Natural)
Speed: 20 ft, fly 60 ft (good)
Size: Small
"When visible, pixies resemble small evles, but with longer ears and gossamer wings. They wear bright clothing, often including a cap and shoes with curled and pointed toes. Pixies stand about 2 1/2 feet tall."
Pixie Spell Resistance, Invisibility, and Spell-Like abilities are all non-natural. You don't get them. (The invis is listed as a supernatural ability.) The special arrows they use are magical items they make, and polymorph won't give them to you.
Other than that, nothing should have changed. Though you will need to deal with the issue of whether or not your gear still fits, seeing as you're now 2.5 ft tall with wings.
Being polymorphed will not change your hitpoints. The change in CON will not retroactively adjust your hitpoints either. `Doc fucked around with this message on 05-17-2004 at 12:25 PM.

`Doc had this to say about Pirotess:
To sum up what Palador said...You now have a +8 racial adjustment to DEX, a -3 racial adjustment to STR, and a +1 racial adjustment to CON.
This is INCORRECT. That version of Polymorph will give you Average stats for your new form, having a high or low base stat to start with doesn't matter. You will have the stats listed. This is a small, but VERY important detail of the spell, to prevent people from using it to boost stats by making minor changes (say, turning your wimpy human mage into a bodybuilder-ish human mage).
quote:You're now 2.5 ft tall, which makes you small (between 2 and 4 ft). This gives you +1 AC, +1 to hit, and +4 hide. It makes you use smaller weapons & armor, and reduces your carrying capacity by 25%. Your land speed is now 20 ft, as per halflings. You can fly using your new butterfly-style pixie wings, at three times your overland speed. Be careful in high winds. You have +1 natural armor bonus (lord knows from where). Other than that, nothing should have changed. Though you will need to deal with the issue of whether or not your gear still fits, seeing as you're now 2.5 ft tall with wings.
Being polymorphed will not change your hitpoints. The change in CON will not retroactively adjust your hitpoints either.
As you have turned into something that can use items, your items have changed in size to fit you and continue to work. If you had been changed into something that isn't made to use humanoid-style items (say, a cat), the items would have merged with you and any magic would have stopped working. However, I'm not sure you can wear your old armor with the wings, even when it does change size.
The HP staying the same despite the change in Con is correct, it's mentioned in the spell.
Base land speed is 20, flying speed is 60. If you boost your land speed somehow, that doesn't boost your flying speed (unless the skill or effect says so). So it may not just be Fly = land * 3.
Does anyone know of / use a program that would be good for making a wizards tower?
