A completely new creature that never existed (you would need to be able to connive of it).However, The following would be impossible at least out of hand. Adult Dragon with Paladin level? (Go ahead It sounds awesome).Mindflayer Warlock (probably not for two reasons 1 you turning into a Mindflayer that's going to mess with you, but the second part is impossible without already having a patron lined up).CR 13 Vampire with mage levels (so long as its under your rating your fine).
The only thing I would say needs to be the case is. (so under 17 - 20 perhaps higher if you are using epic levels) So long as its technically under your level in CR rating True Polymorph can be used to turn any creature into any other creature, as long as the new form has a challenge rating number equal to or lower than the rating or level of the original form, and as long as the new form is one that was chosen by the caster, but originated from published materials or the DM(s).īasically yes. Is in reference to the number on the original form (CR or level) being important, not whether the new form can have class levels. (or its level, if the target doesn’t have a Challenge rating)
This tells us that the focus is upon creatures with a challenge rating. Since your server features multiple DM's, it would be best that they either A- collaborate on the creature (if there is no swapping of players and DM's), or B- adjudicate the creature for its holding to the creation standards (if players alternate being DM).Īs to morphing a creature into a 'PC' (or NPC if it isnt to be played by a player) with class levels, no.Īny kind you choose whose challenge rating is equal to or less than In the Dungeon Master's Guide, there is a section called 'Dungeon Master's Workshop' which contains a section on creating monsters so custom monsters are RAW, as long as the DM is the one that created them. No, you as a player cannot craft a new creature, you may only choose a creature from a source book, or that your DM has created, so long as such creature has a challenge rating. This basically prevents players from being able to make up some creature that fits exactly all the requirements they need for some specific problem, it gives the DM a basis for obtaining statistics for creatures (either from the official sources or from their own notes), and it also gives the players a fixed set of sources (the books and the DM's notes) from which they can draw ideas and kinds of monsters.īeing a server, this should be a proposition that follows your social contract (e.g., all DMs agree on it, or something similar). it seems logical to assume that, when True Polymorphing into one, the DM (or player) could logically pick an adequate race.Ī homebrewed creature that the DM has created and that the players know exists in the setting Appendix B of the MM and of VGM describe class-based NPCs (Bards, Warlocks, etc) as any race, and claims the DM can can add racial traits to further customize them. All of these should still have the approval of the DM, who may claim a given creature does not exist in his settingĪn officially existing NPC, with a specific (DM approved) race.
This includes variant options of monsters (like the Shadow Dragon). I would adjudicate, for your server, that you can only True Polymorph a target into one of three:Īn officially existing creature, taken from the MM, VGM, MToF, etc. While the DM has leeway to create new monsters for his world and adventure, players (in every table I've ever been, but again, there can be exceptions) don't usually have the power to just invent a new kind of monster. You, the caster, can essentially choose a kind of creature. If you turn a creature into another kind of creature This includes whether you can polymorph into a specific creature (and not a generic example of a specific kind of creature), and others of the sort. Probably not (except for some minor customization).Īs you said, many True Polymorph shenanigans fall under DM fiat.
