PAO Into 20 HD Creature?
« on: February 02, 2014, 03:06:19 AM »
Other than one of the interpretations of reserves of strength, how can you increase or bypass the 15 hit die limit on polymorph any object?  I ask because of ethereal doppelganger (Monster Manual II, p94).  Its assume identity ability seems like a neat target for assume supernatural ability (Savage Species, p30).

Turn into a Greater Doppleganger (Monsters of Faerun) instead?
They have a similar ability to gain memories, though more evil (you have to eat the target's brain.)

Greater doppelgangers can only do humanoids.
