Baleful Polymorph
Caster Level(s): Druid 5, Wizard / Sorcerer 5
Innate Level: 6
School: Transmutation
Component(s): Verbal, Somatic
Range: Short
Duration: Permanent
Save: Fortitude negates, Will partial (see text)
Spell Resistance: Yes
On a failed Fortitude save, the target is transformed into a chicken. Spellcasters (clerics, sorcerers, wizards, and non-PC bards) and creatures with Wild Shape must also make a Will save. If they fail (or have Wild Shape), the polymorph is fully applied; if they succeed, they retain spellcasting but their Strength is reduced to 3 and their Dexterity/Constitution to 7 for 1 round/level (extended with metamagic). Non-casters who succeed on the Will save have the duration halved.
