Multiattack. The ape makes two fist attacks.
Fist. Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 22 (3d10 + 6) bludgeoning damage.
Rock. Ranged Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, range 50/100 ft., one target. Hit: 30 (7d6 + 6) bludgeoning damage.
As the spell Polymorph replaces your Statistics (aka Character sheet including feats and equipment) with the one of the Giant Ape, you would not be able to do anything of the above. And no. It's not possible to pick up two shields after being polymorphed as the spell states that you cannot use your hands. No weapons, no shields, no rage... Just the Stat Block of the Giant Ape.
Well, I guess no one hinders a caster to cast Mage Armor on the Ape.
I love how a giant ape is harder than a mage.
Giant apes have hands? Why couldn’t they use shield
This is going to be my goto for my transmutation wizard if I need to be in close combat. I do not mean with the level 10 ability that caps at CR 1.
If I have my transmuter’s stone on a cord around my neck could I drop the stone, poly, then loop the cord around the ape’s wrist? This should allow me to use the proficiency to con saves to keep the polymorph concentration going? The stone would not be absorbed into the new form.
Because polymorph says:
MONKI FLIP
I am thinking a druid/bard casts 'Awaken' and treats it kindly to foster obedience once past the charmed time. Just need a solid cache of 1k gems.
Since I got turned into one by a polymorph blade

Use of shield is a class feature that giant apes don’t have.
Rogues and mages have hands. Why can’t they use shields? It’s a feature they don’t have.
If you want to change the rules, that’s between you and your DM. But if you are changing the rules anyway, make it simple and just increase the ape’s natural armor class. While you’re at it, give it 4 arms. And a jet pack.
Moon druids can be a giant ape way earlier, and since this is CR 7, you can be one of these the second you get the spell polymorph, since the max CR is your level.
SMASHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Jeremy Crawford says Polymorph would cancel Rage as it is a class ability & not one the Giant Ape would have. Like Bladesinging or something similar.

monki
mmmm, monkey
Is there a way yet to be able to roll as a polymorphed beast in Beyond?
Big monke
nothing
Add it in the Extras section of your character sheet.
you can have moon circle and turn into it at lvl 14 as a druid using wild shape, and I use polymorph to turn into it
