Eh, back in 2e Polymorph worked a lot like True Polymorph does in 5e, in 3e it was called Polymorph Any Object. I think a lot of players just call it Polymorph, even though there’s a level four spell with the same name, especially if the context of the situation makes it clear which spell is being used. At least that’s how it goes at my table, but every group is different.
Haven’t played since 2e… Polymorph should have been a way higher level spell with how it was written. Mice fail saving throws constantly… Super useful to derail a campaign.
Yeah, It’s been a few years since I ran a d&d game, and it was 3.5. All the editions are starting to blur a little in my head tbh. If I was running d&d now, and a player wanted to cast, I’d have to verify which spell lol.
