First let me say just HOW thankful I am about someone looking into the polymorphing stuff, really my character's main thing is polymorphing so I am really really grateful.

That being said, I am guessing this is why it still needs fixing, but to make sure: Right now it seems that the temporary HP given to forms when transforming stack infinitely. Otherwise it's like any temp hp and gets removed on rest, though it doesn't seem to be tied to the duration of the spell giving the forms.

https://wiki.bgtscc.net/index.php?title=Shadow_Shield doesn't block the negative level effect of https://wiki.bgtscc.net/index.php?title=Utterdark_Blast -- might be it's intentional, but I think it's a bug.

https://wiki.bgtscc.net/index.php?title=Deathsight doesn't actually raise Wisdom. It also requires MTA, which is not mentioned on the wiki and I'm not sure what it should do, to be honest.

By the way, as it stands, MTA, SR, DC and then effect immunity, it is challenging to find a worse spell.

Greater Bestow Curse issues:

Option 1:
- Does not function, no stats are damaged
- Does not allow for choice or stat drained to 1
- Does not allow for choice of the two -6 stats
- Does not allow for choice between drain to one or Two at -6

Option 2:
- Penalty fires correctly on all fronts no need for an edit there however
- Effects are removed by a lesser restoration potion contrary to text
"A greater curse cannot be dispelled. Only a Remove Curse cast by a spellcaster of at least 17th level can remove a greater curse."
Option 3:
- Player targets given mindblank then subsequently having mindblank removed from them and then cursed remain immune to the daze effect

Option 4:
- Custom curse DM supervision required no notes.

For option 1, you'll get the "Bestow Curse: Choose Attribute" spellcasting feat. If you hotbar the feat and activate it, you'll be prompted to set which attribtue or attributes you want the spell to affect.

Awesome still remains the issue with lesser restoration removing the effects.

For caster levels 18 or higher, spell Shout does 18d6 damage; however, a maximize spell casting of spell Shout does 18 damage on failed save and 9 damage on successful save.

Bug: Shapechange - Hezrou Form has no weapon equipped.
Either the form is lacking the proficiency for it or the weapon is incorrect set.

The form was supposted to have a weapon with 4d4+2d8+5 dmg but on live has nothing, so his damage is 1-3 + STR.

Greater Dispel Magic is incapable of targeting enemies as cast by my bard. You can however target allies, yourself, or object. Otherwise, it must be cast as a ground AoE (though I have yet to see that dispel anything from an enemy)

Lesser Restoration doesn't cure Fatigue caused by the weather/environment effects anymore.

Also doesn't cure Curse Song (Not a bug I've been told!)

It's fixed next patch.

But lesser restos aren't a one cure all. We'll look into adding other potions/etc soon.
