08-29-05, 02:24 PM Alright, this question should be reasonably simple. If one is immune to polymorphing, does that mean that they're immune to transmutation spells (changing shape), such as Touch of Juiblex, or does it only apply to spells with Polymorph in their name?

Thank you for the help.

08-29-05, 02:48 PM creatures who are immune to polymorphing such as incorporeal undead are immune to anything that would change their physical shape...such as the symbols skeletal deliquisance where it turns the targeted creature into an ooze like being by melting its bones to putty. things such as polymorph self and wild shape still work because they r voluntary but of course if they r incorporeal they change into an incorporeal version of the thing the morphed into.

08-29-05, 03:39 PM Some creatures are really immune to polymorphing and can not even change shape if they want to.

(There is a Faerun creature that has three heads and 6 arms that is like this - also no other creature can take their form).

Not all creatures that are immune to polymorph are immune to transmutation, however. If a spell says "as polymorph...", then the creature is immune to it, I believe.
