This is true, but you could trade that weakness for another if you give it a permanent antimagic aura.  Then the abjuration would not be able to hit.

But then the antimagic aura would cancel the magical effect of being polymorphed, ending in the same result: Mighty unmorphing power raptors.

[wierd]

There's an out for that.

The true polymorph effect is the result of an enchanted object, rather than a spell.  That abuses the antimagic field's rules.

Spells and other magical effects, except those created by an artifact or a deity, are suppressed in the Sphere and can't protrude into it. A slot expended to cast a suppressed spell is consumed. While an effect is suppressed, it doesn't function, but the time it spends suppressed counts against its Duration.

The "or a diety" part could be backstory-abused as well. "Oh no, I'm a dino given sentience and damned by a trickster god to question why, oh god why!?"

Or...

"I used to be a dino poacher, until I angered a wild primeval god who cursed me to take the form of my prey"

Absuing anti-magic in this way though is very dangerous.

Healing becomes problematical.

"by hitting me with an arrow in the knee"

Then I'd have to figure out the bonuses and maluses of being a dino. Slowly we draw closer to me writing up Deeno the Deinonychus

Also, doesn't something have to fall more than 10 feet to take falling damage?

So far as I know, falling exactly 10' should deal the 1d6 of damage... I think. There are at least two random people on the internet who agree with me, so there.

Sure, but a healer's kit can be used to restore 1d6+4(+total number of hit dice) once per short rest with the appropriate feat, and the Inspiring Leader feat's temporary hitpoints are presumably also considered nonmagical... Difficult to say, though. Goodberries are considered magic items, so they probably wouldn't do anything.

Bonuses:

• Pounce attack
• You're a fucking dinosaur

Maluses:

• No hands
• Social prejudice

I don't understand why you guys are bothering with True Polymorph shenanigans when you can just have use Awaken on a deinonychus. It's instantaneous, so it can't be dispelled, and all you need to do it is have a level 9+ druid and an agate worth 1000gp.

Except that Awaken can be cast on beasts and plants that have an INT score of 3 or lower.

Deinonychus, being a clever girl, has 4.

Ah, I see. That makes it a little bit trickier, but doable with a 15+ level wizard casting Feeblemind on it beforehand or putting an intellect devourer next to it so it can devour it's intellect and reduce it's intelligence to 0, and stopping it before it jumps into the deinonychus's skull and takes control of its body.

[Kagus]

Or just have an argument with your DM whether or not Wish's spell-copying statement of "You don’t need to meet any requirements" can mean that the spell no longer requires the target to have an intelligence score of 3 or lower.

As an added bonus, you won't have to shell out 1,000 for the agate.

[pikachu17]

Or you could just say that a rare more powerful version of Awaken was cast on you.
We don't actually have to be able to cast it ourselves.
