Better Polymorph - Imps

We will file suggestions here that did not make the cut. Don't expect detailed responses, but the most common reasons are:

  • implementing the suggestion is impractical, or too much work for the gain
  • the suggestion is thematically against our design philosophy
  • the suggestion is too detailed/low-level
    Keep your suggestions broad and focused on RP benefits, please, not detailed suggestions of how to fix everything.

Better Polymorph - Imps

Post by Goldeen »

This was discussed a bit in feedback and I think it has a basis to be considered for a suggestion.

viewtopic.php?f=37&t=39082&p=308978&hilit=imp#p308978

Imps gain the regular polymorph spell for innate usage and it relates to their lore. However, the regular polymorph as it is now is easily seen through with the only reliable form being the pixie for surface travel. In lore, Imps are able to morph into a variety of critters to trick mortals. With the addition of hag custom polymorph, could we get the same for Imps? Could be familiar shapes or small animals.

If the purpose of the polymorph add on was for RP flavor, I think that a change like this would be worthwhile.

Main staff concern over t his, is that imps would just stay perminently in humanoid shape and thus not have any of the drawbacks of their race.
So for now I'm going to reject this until/unless someone comes up with a way of limiting or outing imps in humanoid shape.
This too shall pass.

(I now have a DM Discord (I hope) It's DM GrumpyCat#7185 but please keep in mind I'm very busy IRL so I can't promise how quick I'll get back to you.)
