This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Eh, back in 2e Polymorph worked a lot like True Polymorph does in 5e, in 3e it was called Polymorph Any Object. I think a lot of players just call it Polymorph, even though there's a level four spell with the same name, especially if the context of the situation makes it clear which spell is being used. At least that's how it goes at my table, but every group is different.

Yeah, It's been a few years since I ran a d&d game, and it was 3.5. All the editions are starting to blur a little in my head tbh. If I was running d&d now, and a player wanted to cast, I'd have to verify which spell lol.

Haven't played since 2e... Polymorph should have been a way higher level spell with how it was written. Mice fail saving throws constantly... Super useful to derail a campaign.
