Equipment bonuses and benefits and polymorphing

Unread post by Lambert »

So I was wondering which equipment if any, carry their bonuses into the polymorphed form?

Belts? Rings? Amulets? Anything?

My mage doesn't seem to keep all his benefits when he polymorphs.

I have moved this question to the Tips & Tricks forum where other players and our developers can respond. :)

Polymorph/shapechange removes bonus spell slots from items which makes it a huge pain to redo all spells every time. Basically once I reach about lvl 12-15 as a mage I stop using them because of this.

You only get to keep spell effects, not items.
