Real Simple, Elan into Beholder Mage
Could someone explain for me, in full detail, how Elans get into Beholder Mage? I know its Polymorph-based, but why can't humans do the same trick?

Hm, unsure about it, but it could be the point of reaching a duration of "permanent" with Polymorph any Object" - Spell.
(Since Elans are in the same category and kingdom they can reach it, while a human can't, i guess)

Re: Real Simple, Elan into Beholder Mage
My phone won't open the link. I know its a common thing, I just was hoping to have it immediately availabe, since its a curtent discussion over in the favorite abberation thread.
Does 'Kingdom' relate to Type in dnd? And if a Humanoid is the same Family (+5), same Size (+2), and same or higher Intelligence (+2), they can also reach 9, allowing for Permanent.
So why is same Kingdom necessary?

Re: Real Simple, Elan into Beholder Mage
I didn't miss it, that was just the only part I could answer with the knowledge I possess. And since beholders are Aberrations, it is Elan are closer to them than humans are.
It's all part of the Polymorph Any Object Duration clause. You need to hit a Duration Factor of 9+ to permanently change something into something else. Because you go from something living to something living, you get a +5. Same class (creature type) gives another +2. Same size would give another +2 here, but it does not apply. Same or Lower intelligence is character dependent, but gives another +2.
If you total +9 or more for any creature in comparison to a Beholder, you can Polymorph permanently into that form and thereby qualify for Beholder Mage. A Large creature of any type with a high intelligence score could also potentially do it.

Re: Real Simple, Elan into Beholder Mage
Following that logic, Elan wouldn't qualify as they are not Large...
