![]() First off, your target is going to make a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC, if they pass then nothing happens, if they fail then the spell takes effect, and they go from their natural form to the beast form of your choice. How Does Polymorph Work?ĥe Polymorph mechanics and rule particulars can be wonky so let's go through it carefully. ![]() You can find polymorph listed on quite a few spell lists and you gain that spell knowledge, and you can cast it if you're a bard, druid, sorcerer, wizard, or cleric of the trickery domain. The creature can't activate, use, wield, or otherwise benefit from any of its equipment. The target's gear melds into the new form. 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 requires hands or speech. As long as the excess damage doesn't reduce the creature's normal form to 0 hit points, it isn't knocked unconscious. If it reverts as a result of dropping to 0 hit points, any excess damage carries over to its normal form. When it reverts to its normal form, the creature returns to the number of hit points it had before it transformed. The target assumes the hit points of its new form. It retains its alignment and personality. The target's game statistics, including mental ability scores, are replaced by the statistics of the chosen beast. The new form can be any beast whose challenge rating is equal to or less than the target's (or the target's level, if it doesn't have a challenge rating). The transformation lasts for the duration, or until the target drops to 0 hit points or dies. The spell has no effect on a shapechanger or a creature with 0 hit points. An unwilling creature must make a Wisdom saving throw to avoid the effect. This spell transforms a creature that you can see within range into a new form.

The spell polymorph turns a creature (temporarily) into any animal you can think of. Polymorph is the source of some of the funniest D&D stories and is an outlet for a player's creative problem-solving harkening all the way back to the earliest days of the game. ![]()
