Using #monster when polymorphed into a demon allows you to call for hell-p from other demons directly, without needing to hit an enemy in melee. This uses up some Pw. It may not work 100% of the time, but will cost Pw regardless of whether or not it works. Another possible restriction is that you need to be next to a known enemy for it to work.

If you are eating someone’s brains when polymorphed into a mind flayer, and you are very satiated to the point where you aren’t getting the full amount of nutrition from it, you do less damage with the attack because you aren’t eating as much of their brain.

Some polyform (perhaps mind flayer) that doesn’t forget spells over time while you remain polymorphed into it.

If polymorphed into a strong clawed monster like a dragon, you can make semipermanent engravings with “-“. However, if your form does not have hands, this will be slower than an athame or wand of digging can do.

When you are polymorphed into a monster with a stealing attack, you shouldn’t be able to make a normal attack and also steal something at the same time. Perhaps the stealing attack should only be made when you are barehanded, though this could interfere with martial arts.
