Yes, you lose everything: feats, favoured enemies, divine favour, the
whole shebang.
Basically having people spend half their careers polymorphed into
trolls and whatnot was a bit too silly for me. I don't have a problem
with polymorph being a utility spell, though. Hence changing into a
troll when you're really hurt, and regenerating for a few minutes, is
fine. So is changing into a locathah for the water breathing, or even
a dragon for flight and a (relatively wimpy) breath weapon.
Hm. Maybe gaining all Su abilities might be a bit too much. Still,
noone's taken polymorph (yet) IMC, so I haven't really had a chance to
test it.
