I have got another one for polyspellfix, I have noticed it had my racial bonus int, item bonus int, item spell slots bonuses but I think it lacks spellcasting prodigy bonus? After doing the math I loose the spell slots gained exactly by +2 int which would account for prodigy. Is that even possible to implement? Another +2 int maybe or if prodigy can be added to the item as bonus feat? Thanks

You don’t lose the Spellcasting Prodigy feat by polymorphing. I just tested it, and I didn’t lose spellslots on a caster with that feat.

Then I am losing it somewhere, I have lvl 20 so that's 4 spells on each circle +1 for school that's 5, I have 27 INT with items (that's being a tiefling and +2 headgear) and I have Spellcasting prodigy. Yet after shifting I end up with blank LVL1, LVL5 and LVL9 slot which is exactly the difference between 27 and 29 INT.

If it's not spellcasting prodigy, maybe the racial bonus INT and Gear bonus INT stated on polyspellfix doesn't stack?

Yes that would explain it. I changed it so they stack.

So another one,
I get randomly thrown out of Shapechange, like I walk and suddenly she is a tiefling again instead of fire giant (or any form really), so I have to Shape Shift again...happened a few times, but so far only in Troll Claws Troll Cave (by the river) and in the BG Undercity (The location with undead beneath sewers) and in the Vaults of the Dead (Fields of Dead dungeon with Dracolich). I am pretty sure it's not duration because it happens before my mirror image goes down (I use the mazximized, not extended version) and sometimes a few times even before the spell expires. Seemingly at random but so far only those two locations.

PS: Btw really thanks for all the work put into this, I built my char around the new changes and I absolutely love it, it's ton of fun :)

Is the Shapechange spell still active? Like, can you use the feat right away to change back to fire giant form?

Yup, I just get randomly trasnfered into original form, then can use the feat again right away (unless of course I got transfered back because the spell expired). So far it hasn't luckilly happened in combat yet and never in an "open" area, but in dungeons it seems to happen a lot lately, yesterday I can remember about 5 times this happening.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post, since it's not technically a bug, but it is about the polymoeph spell.

It would be really nice to have RP versions of the various humanoid races for RP use. It's not possible to un-equip a weapon. So either a weaponless version of the races or the ability to remove the weapon would be really nice. Also female versions would be nice since it doesn't change the voice of the polymorphed character.

Hmm, so female versions isn’t already in? I know Nachti planned it, and I’m sure I saw it somewhere in the code... I will have a look.

Small bug was keeping the lady shapes from being selected. Drider, drow, duergar, human, dwarf, and elf shapes will respect gender of caster.

Unless I am missing something, the lady-forms are still not fixed. I tried right after the patch rolled and was just waiting for patch notes to confirm, but all of the polymorph shapes were males.

Gender is not by choice, but is applied depending on your own gender. And only for the few races that has both genders available.

I'm seeing the female forms on my polymage, which is great because it no longer feels super weird to RP the mechanic when she was forced to change into guys. :P

Well my mage is a tiefling female, race that has both genders but somehow my dwarf/elf/drow etc are all male forms.

Any chance, if possible, to have it be a choice?
