Clarify that the spell adds no mechanics *in this case*, and add the possibly redundant modifiers simply for being an animal rather than humanoid

| Mar 1, 2017 at 17:48 | comment | added | user31942 | @Jon Clause - The animal in question is actually medium, per the Allosorus animal companion link in the Q. GMJoe and ShadowKras, thanks, incorporating now. | |
| Mar 1, 2017 at 12:07 | comment | added | ShadowKras | I believe you should put an emphasis on the fact that you don't actually replace your stats, which seems to be what nearly everybody, who hasnt read pathfinder's version of the polymorph subschool, thinks about how those spells work. | |
| Mar 1, 2017 at 11:02 | comment | added | GMJoe | Note that there's a few things polymorph any object can turn things into that aren't covered by any of the spells listed. Undead, for instance. So it's not totally correct to say the polymorph any object spell provides no new mechanics... It's just very unclear about what they are in the cases where it does provide them. | |
| Feb 28, 2017 at 21:28 | comment | added | Jon Claus | I would also note that because you are polymorphing a creature whose size is large, it gets -4 Strength, +2 Dexterity, and -2 Constitution. This means overall it gets +2 Strength, -2 Dexterity, and -2 Constitution. | |

| Feb 28, 2017 at 19:34 | comment | added | Fering | This spell allows you to do things which are not possible with the other spells, while also giving you the option of using those spells. But there is no clear explanation anywhere as to how this spell is different and exactly how its suppose to work. | |
