Looking for abilities that let me turn or meld into objects

[Piggy Knowles]

OK, this seemed like a little bit too much for the Simple Questions thread, but I'm looking for as many abilities as I can find that allow me to turn or meld into objects, parts of the environment, etc. I'd like to physically alter myself so that I either become an object, or become part of one, so illusions don't really qualify here.

Examples: metamorphosis lets you turn into an object, meld into stone lets you meld into anything made of stone big enough to incorporate you, Urban Soul has the citymeld ability, etc.

I feel like there has to be far more than just the standard meld spells, and metamorphosis. I'm also particularly surprised at the lack of options for psionic characters - they get metamorphosis, and that's about it.

The character that I've been messing around with is a psion, so powers and feats are particularly valuable to me, but I wouldn't mind making a complete list.

Spells

Tree shape: Dru2/Rgr3. Turn into a tree or shrub.
Meld into stone: Clr3/Dru3. Meld into stone. Must be large enough to accommodate a creature of your size.
Meld into ice: Clr3/Dru3. As meld into stone, but into ice.
Soul of the waste: Clr3/Dru3. As meld into stone, but into sand.
Tree stride: Dru5/Rgr4. Step into trees, can then teleport from one tree to another.
Polymorph any object: Wiz8. Can turn things into objects.


Powers

Metamorphosis: Ego4. Can turn into objects.


Feats

Class Features

Other (Items, Bindings, Soulmelds, etc.)

So, playground, what am I forgetting? What are some other abilities that might allow me to become part of an object, or to turn into one?

Earth Dreamer from Races of Stone is a 5/5 full caster PrC that lets you see through and Earth Glide through solid stone.

[Blackhawk748]

Elemental Savant: Earth, basically turns you into an Medium Earth Elemental at Level 10

[HalfQuart]

For more spells, all I've got is:

Swamp Stride (SpC): Dru5/Rgr4. Like Tree Stride, but into pools of water instead of trees.
Enhance Wild Shape (SpC): Dru4. Assume form of a plant with your next wildshape.

[Piggy Knowles]

Hmm... I'd actually always thought that Enhance Wild Shape only let you turn into a plant creature, but re-reading, it does just say plant. Not too shabby.

Anything other than PaO or Metamorphosis that will let you turn into an object? Any way to get a melding type effect on a psionic character without resorting to Spell-to-Power? I feel like there must be more that I'm missing...

have fun with your psion sandwich or living in a flying box.

Anything that makes you incorporeal or ethereal, perhaps, could fit the bill. Ghost From (Sor/Wiz 8, Spell Compendium), Psion Uncarnate (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/psionic/prestigeClasses/psionUncarnate.htm), (Psionic (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/psionic/powers/planeShiftPsionic.htm)) Plane Shift (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/planeShift.htm), (Psionic (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/psionic/powers/etherealJauntPsionic.htm)) Ethereal Jaunt (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/etherealJaunt.htm), (Psionic (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/psionic/powers/etherealnessPsionic.htm)) Etherealness (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/etherealness.htm), Astral Caravan (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/psionic/powers/astralCaravan.htm), Gate (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/gate.htm), and Shadow Walk (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/shadowWalk.htm). Plus, of course, items that duplicate any of those effects - such as Cubic Gate (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/wondrousItems.htm#cubicGate), the Etherealness armor property (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/magicArmor.htm#etherealness), the Cloak of Etherealness (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/wondrousItems.htm#cloakofEtherealness), the Amulet of the Planes (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/wondrousItems.htm#amuletofthePlanes), and so on.

Fiend of Possession - Fiend Folio: Prestige class that will allow you to "possess" an object and potentially enhance its abilities.

[Drachasor]

Disintegrate -- you'll have trouble turning back though.

[The Viscount]

Not quite melding into, but Enhance Wild Shape on something like a vine horror lets you move through 1 inch holes, as would being an Oozemaster. If you did so slowly you'd sort of be in an object.

Urban Druid from Dragon Compendium allows you to turn into objects, both animated and mundane.

City Soul (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/we/20070228a) also allows you to turn into animated objects, if that's good enough.

[Malimar]

My favorite: Be Warforged (or any other construct). Alter self or polymorph into Animated Object of your choice.

[DementedFellow]

Amulet of Ooze Riding. It essentially allows you to be in a bubble inside an ooze.

Not sure what if it is what you are looking for, but I love the idea of it.

[Nettlekid]

Since you have turning into tree/shrub listed, I might mention the race Forestkith Goblin, a LA 1 race which can turn into a limb, shrub, or small tree at will. It cannot then change back until sundown or when it takes damage. It kind of sucks, but for the sake of completeness, there you go.

[Valwyn]

Cloak of Stone (MIC 88) lets you use Meld into Stone 1/day (and gives a +5 competence bonus to Hide and Move Silently).

[Flickerdart]

Underdark Knight (Paladin ACF) gives you Earthglide, but you start suffocating if you stop inside stone at the end of your turn, so find some way to be immune to that.

[Rastapopolos]

I think Haunt Shift deserves an honorable mention, Haunt anything and it becomes an animated object. Needs a high cha to work properly though. Use Shroud of Undeath to qualify.

[Madara]

Underdark Knight (Paladin ACF) gives you Earthglide, but you start suffocating if you stop inside stone at the end of your turn, so find some way to be immune to that.

Wait. Where is this one? I want it :smallsmile:

[The Viscount]

It's in Complete Champion.

[Psyren]

Disintegrate -- you'll have trouble turning back though.

You get a chuckle from me :smallbiggrin:

[Keld Denar]

I forgot one. Elemental Body from SpC will let you attune to one of the 4. Earth Elemental form gives you the ability to Earth Glide. Wiz6.
