View Full Version : Transmute x to x and creatures
I'm currently building a character who happens to be an elemental composed of metal (partially homebrewed, partially 3rd party) and a question came up, could a metal creature (such as an animated object, or an elemental creature such as my character) be affected by transmute metal to wood (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/transmuteMetalToWood.htm).?
Similarly, would transmute rock to mud affect an earth elemental or an animated object made of stone?
The list goes on, but the basic question is: do transmute material to other material spells affect creatures?

Well, I can't cite my sources, but no, creatures are exempt.

stone to flesh / flesh to stone.
Transmute any oblect (mentions creatures in discription).
so yes it would work.
the earth elemental would become a mud elemental and a metal elemental would become a wood elemental or an animated wooden object in the shape of a metal elemental.

No, it affects only objects.

It does not affect creatures but stone and ground.
Further:
Magical stone is not affected by the spell.

In most cases no, you need Polymorph Any Object for such effects.
