Notes[]
- While polymorph self officially has an innate level of 4, each of the subspells that can be cast have an innate level of 3. Crafting feats and use magic device checks will still use 4 for the innate level.
- Casting this spell interferes with additional spellcasting; see polymorph for details.
- No items merge into any form.
- In zombie form, a character is treated as undead in a few aspects. For example, harm and heal have reversed effects, and the character can be turned by clerics. However, the caster does not receive the typical undead immunities like immunity to critical hits or sneak attacks.
