Good Good Varies Varies
Polymorph
A Polymorph changes appearance to meet the expectations of others, abilities to fit the situation, and themselves to fit their needs.
Making a Polymorph
Polymorphs have a dizzing array of options outsize of combat, and access to game-changing options in combat. They can prepare for virtually any situation, but are slow to react to changing needs.
Party role: Polymorphs fill a similar support role to Shamans and Tacticians, but have fewer options for enhancing their allies and hindering their enemies.
Polymorphs in your game: Polymorphs, like other changelings, are usually regarded with suspicion and distrust. They are usually able to avoid the shadow of distrust by concealing their abilities.
Multiclassing tips: Polymorphs lack offensive and defensive options, and may benefit from tracks dedicated to providing these. A polymorph who wishes to eschew material possessions may be interested in the Plasma Scion track.
