If you think about it, even in the current version (which doesn't have all spells available obviously) you have very varied options available: damage from a distance, bleed-charge, best mobility with wings, invisiblity, heavy tanking (which will become a source spell so don't rely too much on it, I mean graft skin), chicken transform and I probably forget one or two. I think that a pure Polymorph could be an interesting gameplay actually. We should really be able to make a "DEX-fighter" like in good old AD&D times. nice, but I always dropped these because there is no use for them. Sidenote: The spear we get from Withermoore and the one we find in the stronghold are.

The additiobal stat point lets me afford a point or two in STR, so that the tentacle lash will be more efficient over time.įrom what I read on this forum, your statements and my experiences, I think that a "pure" polymorph ( at least as it is in it's current state) would not be as viable as a hybrid of I find it pretty useful for a rogue as example because of that invisibility skill. Originally posted by imminence:After the first attempts I did exactly what you wrote. Having a few Spear-based abilities would have been really neat (like magic jalevin throw, super jump, a big piercing charge forward going through armor etc.) I wish Spears had more uses and didn't felt like after-thought shoe-horned into the game. (like going for Fighter, Knight or Inquisitor if you want a close-range fighter with polymorph skills, pick a ranger, wayfarer if you want a ranged one etc). I recommend picking the type of build you want and then put points in Polymorph when your character levels up. Technically you could play a dextrous spear-using Polymorph but forcing it on is really annoying and is a big waste of attributes for any other build you want to go for. I personally strongl recommend to never use the Polymorph archetype as the choices made for it are really stupid. I sadly think Polymorph is counted as Dextrous only because it would even the number of classes in each categories and those categories aren't super relevant anyway as the Battlemage is litterally in-between two categories and present in only one.Īs for why the Metamorph starts with a spear and dexterity I think it's because none other archetype uses spears so they put it here by default because it wouldn't fit anywhere else.
