New page

==Valid forms==

We should probably say somewhere what forms monsters can be polymorphed into. For example, I've certainly never seen anything polymorph into an orc wizard - I'm guessing that only the base monster is a valid target, but it'd be nice to get all the rules for it. -[[User:Ion frigate|Ion frigate]] ([[User talk:Ion frigate|talk]]) 02:25, 5 March 2014 (CET)

	Does the polymorph spell still do the same thing as the wand if it hits a monster? (Not that a Pan Lord is likely to accidentally hit one of its underlings, but I guess it could still happen.)

		+	:It looks like the spell does the same thing as the wand. Also, if I understand correctly, it's the other way around: [https://github.com/crawl/crawl/blob/0.25.1/crawl-ref/source/spl-book.cc#L87 all wand effects are actually spells].
		+
		+	:The code for spells is ''a bit'' convoluted, but there's an easy way to test things like this in wiz-mode. You can create a monster with any spells or abilities: <code>&m orc spells:polymorph.10.wizard;cantrip.10.priest</code>. There are also commands to give monsters items and to permanently change their attitude (see the ?x help). [[User:Ge0ff\|Ge0ff]] ([[User talk:Ge0ff\|talk]]) 14:18, 27 November 2020 (CET)

	I just used my Plutonium sword to kill myself. I did this by turning Mennas into a Pearl Dragon. So i guess holy monsters are valid polymorph targets? (Or is plutonium a special case?) If so I`d edit in some warnings, as there are not that many other holy monsters that match Mennas` HD. --[[User:BlueCrake\|BlueCrake]] ([[User talk:BlueCrake\|talk]]) 16:26, 2 September 2014 (CEST)		I just used my Plutonium sword to kill myself.
