Other Magic System Rules
- All magic must take into account arcane spell failure
- Shields have no arcane spell failure for proficient characters
- A Light shield counts as a free hand for the purpose of spell casting
- Caster Level is equal to the minimum of Character level and number of arcane caster feats
- An unlimited number of 0th level cantrips can be cast per day.
- Spell Knowledge (Spells Known limit): Int (Bonus spell knowledge on gaining caster level N, if the character's int bonus is greater than (N/2 - 1) they get an extra spell of level (N/2 -1))
- Spell Energy(Spell point adjustment): Wis (Bonus SP per level equal to wisdom bonus divided by 3.)
- Spell Strength(Save DC/effect modifier): Cha (Save DC = 10 + SL + CHA modifier)
- Chaotic, Evil, Good, and Lawful Spells A character can’t cast spells of an alignment opposed to her own or her deity’s (if she has one). Spells associated with particular alignments are indicated by the chaos, evil, good, and law descriptors in their spell descriptions.
- Formularies. A character may keep a Spell Book similar to a wizard's spell book. However, spells may not be prepared or cast out of this book except for the purpose of crafting magic items. To copy a deciphered spell into your formulary requires a DC 15 + spell level Decipher script check. Spells that you have successfully copied into your formulary count as being on your class spell list for the purposes of activating scrolls and wands.

- Duration: 10 min./level (D)
You assume the form of a creature of a type based on the type of your normal form. The new form must be within one size category of your normal size. You can change into a member of your own kind or even into yourself.
You can freely designate the new form’s minor physical qualities (such as hair color, hair texture, and skin color) within the normal ranges for a creature of that kind. The new form’s significant physical qualities (such as height, weight, and gender) are also under your control, but they must fall within the norms for the new form’s kind. You are effectively disguised as an average member of the new form’s race. If you use this spell to create a disguise, you get a +10 bonus on your Disguise check, ignoring penalties based on differences in gender, race or age between your normal and new form.
When the change occurs, your equipment, if any, either remains worn or held by the new form (if it is capable of wearing or holding the item), or melds into the new form and becomes nonfunctional. Melded equipment can have adjustments to its minor physical qualities to match the new form. When you revert to your true form, any objects previously melded into the new form reappear in the same location on your body they previously occupied and are once again functional. Any new items you wore in the assumed form and can’t wear in your normal form fall off and land at your feet; any that you could wear in either form or carry in a body part common to both forms at the time of reversion are still held in the same way. Any part of the body or piece of equipment that is separated from the whole reverts to its true form.
You retain all the statistics and abilities of your normal form, except for those requiring a body part that the new form does not have (such as a mouth and lungs for a breath weapon, speech and air-breathing or eyes for a gaze attack or sight).
If your new form is smaller, this effect is the same as Reduce Person without the -2 Strength. If your new form is Larger, this effect is the same as Enlarge Person without the -2 Dexterity. If you are the same size you may add +2 bonus to either Strength or Dexterity.
For every two caster levels, you may aquire one ability of the new form from the following list: daylight vision, darkvision 60-ft, low-light vision, scent, air-breathing, water-breathing, scent, climb 30 feet, fly 30 feet (clumsy maneuverability), swim 30 feet, +1 natural armor, a natural weapon that does damage as an appropriate sized shortspear.
Base creature type | New form type | Example |
---|---|---|
Fey, Giant, Monstrous Humanoid, Humanoid | Humanoid | Ogre Mage -> Human |
Dragon, Magical Beast, Animal, Vermin | Animal or Vermin | Chimera -> Elephant |
Undead, Constructs crafted of flesh, blood, bone | Unintelligent Undead | Mummy -> Zombie |
Construct | Animated Object | Inevitable -> Animated clock |

- Duration: 1 hour/level (D)
This spell transforms the caster into a new form.
The transformation lasts for the duration, or until the target drops to 0 hit points or dies. The new form can be any Tiny thru Huge animal, plant or vermin the caster is familiar with whose hit dice does not exceed the target’s hit dice or the caster's level. The target’s game statistics are replaced by the statistics of the chosen form except as indicated.
The subject takes on all the statistics and special abilities of an average member of the new form in place of its own except as follows: - The subject retains its own Intelligence (i.e. does not become mindless) though it does NOT retain its skills - The subject retains its own alignment (and personality, within the limits of the new form’s ability scores). - The subject retains its own hit points (plus temporary hit points or healing as listed below). - The subject is treated as having its normal Hit Dice for purpose of adjudicating effects based on HD, such as the sleep spell, though it uses the new form’s base attack bonus, base save bonuses, and all other statistics derived from Hit Dice. - The subject is treated as having its normal creature type as well as the new form for purpose of adjudicating effects based on creature type, such as the charm person or charm animal spells. - The subject also retains the ability to understand (but not to write or speak) the languages it understood in its original form. - If the new form normally has regeneration, fast healing or shapechange abilities the subject does not gain those.
If the new form is larger or typically had more hit points than the target, it gains 1 temporary HP per caster level. If not, it heals 1 HP per caster level.
The creature is limited in the actions it can perform by the nature of its new form, and it can’t speak, cast spells, or take any other action that normally requires hands or speech. (See the Natural Spell feat)
The target’s gear melds into the new form. The creature can’t activate, use, wield, or otherwise benefit from any of its equipment. This spell can’t affect a target that has 0 or fewer hit points.

Polymorph
- Transmutation
- Level: Sor/Wiz 4
- Components: V, S, M (a piece of the creature whose form you plan to assume)
- Casting Time: 1 standard action
- Range: Touch
- Target: Willing living creature touched
- Duration: 1 min./level (D)
- Saving Throw: None
- Spell Resistance: No
This spell changes the willing subject into another form of living creature.
The new form may be of the same type as the subject or any of the following types: aberration, animal, dragon, fey, giant, humanoid, magical beast, monstrous humanoid, ooze, plant, or vermin.
The new form can’t have more Hit Dice than the subject’s HD. The new form must have a challenge rating less than your level, to a maximum of CR 14 at 15th level. For example, an 8th level wizard could turn an 8-HD Rhinoceros, themselves or their own familiar into an eight-headed Hydra (CR 7; HD 8)
You can’t cause a subject to assume a form smaller than Fine, nor can you cause a subject to assume an incorporeal or gaseous form.
The subject takes on all the statistics and special abilities of an average member of the new form in place of its own except as follows: - The subject retains its own alignment (and personality, within the limits of the new form’s ability scores). - The subject retains its own hit points (plus temporary hit points as listed below). - The subject is treated as having its normal Hit Dice for purpose of adjudicating effects based on HD, such as the sleep spell, though it uses the new form’s base attack bonus, base save bonuses, and all other statistics derived from Hit Dice. - The subject is treated as having its normal creature type as well as the new form for purpose of adjudicating effects based on creature type, such as the charm person or charm animal spells. - The subject also retains the ability to understand (but not necessarily to speak) the languages it understood in its original form. It can write in the languages it understands, but only the form is capable of writing in some manner (such as drawing in the dirt with a paw). - If the new form normally has regeneration, fast healing or shapechange abilities the subject does not get those.
With those exceptions, the subject’s normal game statistics are replaced by those of the new form. The subject loses all the special abilities it has in its normal form, including its class features.
If the new form's max hit points is greater than the subject's max hit points, the subject gains a number of temporary hit points equal to the difference for the duration. For example, a 33 HP Medusa polymorphed into a 57 HP Manticore would gain 22 temporary hit points.
If slain, the subject reverts to its original form, though it remains dead.
Incorporeal or gaseous creatures are immune to being polymorphed, and a creature with the shapechanger subtype can revert to its natural form as a standard action.
You can freely designate the new form’s minor physical qualities (such as hair color, hair texture, and skin color) within the normal ranges for a creature of that kind. The new form’s significant physical qualities (such as height, weight, and gender) are also under your control, but they must fall within the norms for the new form’s kind. The subject is effectively disguised as an average member of the new form’s race. If you use this spell to create a disguise, it grants a +10 bonus on the Disguise check.
When the change occurs, your equipment, if any, either remains worn or held by the new form (if it is capable of wearing or holding the item), or melds into the new form and becomes nonfunctional. When the subject reverts to their true form, any objects previously melded into the new form reappear in the same location on their body they previously occupied and are once again functional. Any new items they wore in the assumed form and can’t wear in their normal form fall off and land at their feet; any that they could wear in either form or carry in a body part common to both forms at the time of reversion are still held in the same way. Any part of the body or piece of equipment that is separated from the whole reverts to its true form. If the new form has more body parts of a given type and one is cut off determine randomly if is corresponds to the subject's original. For example, an elf polymorphed into a giant spider that loses a leg only has a 50% chance of losing a leg when it reverts.
- Material Component
- A pinch of material(feathers, fur, hair, scales,etc) from the creature of the new form. (Prices vary: a normal spell component pouch will contain parts for animals and magical beasts common to the area. In general prices will be less than (CR x HD x 10gp) per pinch)
Baleful Polymorph
- Transmutation
- Level: Drd 5, Sor/Wiz 5
- Components: V, S
- Casting Time: 1 standard action
- Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
- Target: One creature
- Duration: Permanent
- Saving Throw: Fortitude negates, Will partial; see text
- Spell Resistance: Yes
This spell functions like Polymorph, except that targets need not be touched or willing, the duration is permanent, and the new form must be a Small or smaller animal of no more than 1 HD (such as a dog, lizard, monkey, or toad).
All items worn or carried by the subject fall to the ground at its feet, even if they could be worn or carried by the new form.
If the new form would prove fatal to the creature (for example, if you polymorph a land-bound target into a fish, or an airborne target into a toad), the subject gets a +4 bonus on the save.
As with any polymorph effect if the subject remains in the new form for 24 hours within any period 48 consecutive hours, it must attempt a Will save. If this save fails, it loses its ability to understand language, as well as all other memories of its previous form, and its Hit Dice and hit points change to match an average creature of its new form. These abilities and statistics return to normal if the effect is later ended.
Incorporeal or gaseous creatures are immune to baleful polymorph, and a creature with the shape-changer subtype (such as a lycanthrope or a doppelganger) can revert to its natural form as a standard action (which ends the spell’s effect).
Polymorph Any Object

- Level: Sor/Wiz 8, Trickery 8
