:Well, each round you get hit with what is functionally a worse Baleful Poly, so you could Dispel the progression at least since it's not Permanent. That would leave you in a permanently altered form, but not on the route to death and you could fix the poly in the standard fashion. It's unclear what happens if you reset the polymorph path without dispelling it though. If you polymorphed a reptilian subtyped creature from a T-Rex back to a regular reptilian subtyped creature, it still has 3 rounds of transformations left and ends at a T-Rex maybe? Which is a weird roundabout way to get that sort of permanent change :-/ - [[User:Tarkisflux|Tarkisflux]] <sup>[[User talk:Tarkisflux|Talk]]</sup>  04:05, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

6 Saves?

Is it a save each round (making it a save or lose, with a rare chance at death) or one save?

If it's one save, what can stop the effect? How do you save someone from this? -- Eiji-kun (talk) 13:09, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

Well, each round you get hit with what is functionally a worse Baleful Poly, so you could Dispel the progression at least since it's not Permanent. That would leave you in a permanently altered form, but not on the route to death and you could fix the poly in the standard fashion. It's unclear what happens if you reset the polymorph path without dispelling it though. If you polymorphed a reptilian subtyped creature from a T-Rex back to a regular reptilian subtyped creature, it still has 3 rounds of transformations left and ends at a T-Rex maybe?
