Re: Shapeshift
I assume the spell was named 'Shapeshift' to separate it from it's D&D counterpart 'Polymorph Other', but the name does imply a magical effect more similar to a Druid's shapechange ability which I'll admit was a bit disappointing when I initially read the description. I believe a temporary version of the spell was presented elsewhere on this forum, however.

Re: Shapeshift
Depends on the GM. I would say an age is not a shape, and Shapeshift does not allow you to change age. It's not supposed to be a trivial fountain of youth, which it would be if it did do that.

It is important to note that you need to compare the 1E AD&D Polymorph other and not the 5E D&D equivalent.

Re: Shapeshift
Instead of D&D we should be looking to better, more enlightened source to understand shapeshifting. I site Merlin from Disney's The Sorceror and the Stone. https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Merlin
Let's make Shapeshifting more like that. ; - ) |
