And now for something completely different.

I have long pondered the REAL power of transmutation spells in pathfinder; my transmuter has had fun with the mobility of different forms (Particularly Elemental Form 1-3). Well this week the folks at Lone Wolf, home of Hero Lab, put out an update with an enhanced Polymorph effect tool.

Now you can better buff using polymorph spells. For example, my seeker level wizard Cindrana has Rippy Wipple as a familiar, and what fun could a faerie dragon have in a back all than to have Form of Dragon II on him when muggers attack his mistress? Tiny Dragon becomes Large.. and gains MANY attacks.

His move goes up to 90ft but loses maneuverability, gains an upgrade to bite (now 2d6+6), 2 claw attacks, tail slap, wing buffets AND breath weapon (though only 8d8 fire damage).
