  • Polymorph Self Intelligence Autocorrection

    So, I was sparked by the Word of Charge thread, and went off to look how the polymorph stuff worked on NWN2.wikia

    In my investigation, I discovered exactly WHY Polymorph Self is such a hassle for Wizards, and likely not as much for else:

    Originally posted by NWN2.Wikia, Polymorph Self
    Blade Spider
    Attributes: STR 18, DEX 20, CON 16, INT 20

    Troll
    Attributes: STR 23, DEX 14, CON 23, INT 20

    Umberhulk
    Attributes: STR 23, DEX 13, CON 19, INT 20

    Gargoyle
    Attributes: STR 15, DEX 14, CON 18, INT 20

    Mindflayer
    Attributes: STR 12, DEX 14, CON 12, INT 20
    Effectively, the intelligence for most wizards at that range is going to be ABOVE 20, meaning that they are getting not only their spells dropped by inaccess to bonus-spell items and intelligence boosters, but their BASE ATTRIBUTE is reduced by up to 5 points.

    From my observation, this does not apply to Shapeshange, Wildshape, Word of Change, or Tenser's Transformation (which arguably should be the only one that would).

    My suggestion for this matter is purely that the static-Intelligence-Attribute be removed from this spell, if it is at all possible.

    Cheers,
    Kit

    Seconded, to make the spells less of a hassle due to having to redo spells every time.
    I can't slow down, I can't hold back though you know I wish I could. No there ain't no rest for the wicked until we close our eyes for good!
