Talk:Polymorph Self/@comment-183.178.120.125-20180519093813

weird enough BG1EE and BG2EE treats polymorph self differently... in BG1EE or SOD if I recall correctly, spider form attacks don't involve poison effect and it could still be held by web spell. Only merit here is you can cast melf meteor or dispel magic to "swap" your claw for better weapons if you are figter/mage multi or dual class.

Comparatively, spider form in BG2EE has poison effect but it cannot be swapped by melf meteor or dispel magic anymore. You can still equip offhand weapon that gives you apr bonus.
