Grafts and Polymorph

[Monodominant]

Hello...

A basic question.

Do grafts continue to work for someone that shapechanges/polymorphs and all the various abilities of these type of effects (including the psionic polymorph like spells, alter self etc)?

No. Since grafts are a physical thing and you are changing your physical body they wouldn't remain. Certain things like a Mother cyst might remain attached to your body, but that would be due to the cyst not actually being a true part of your body. Same would go for other symbiotic grafts I would assume.

killianh is right. From Magic of Eberron on page 127:
A graft is not a magic item. It does not radiate magic once completed (although a graft might require the casting of specific spells as part of the construction process), and it does not take up a body slot like a magic item would. Because it's not magical, there's absolutely nothing special about a graft which would keep Polymorph from obliterating it (temporarily) when changing to a new form.
