    Default Polymorph and templates

    Is any template applicable to a creature that you can polmorph into, so long as it doesn't change the amount of hitdie to out of range and keeps the creature nonspecific?

    Short answer: No. No templates on critters you polymorph into.

    Long answer: Polymorph specifies that it functions as Alter Self, which contains the following text:

    From the SRD
    You cannot take the form of any creature with a template, even if that template doesn’t change the creature type or subtype.
