[QUOTE="Humanophile, post: 2505627, member: 1049"] First, please explain what the problem is? This druid can look like he's a less dangerous creature than he is? On the whole of it, I don't see how bad that really is; at most that gives him one one surprise attack, which is Invisibility's purpose. Given everything else the latter spell can do, I don't see this as gamebreaking for a first level spell. The exception is things like the red dragon => gold dragon, which is impossible by the rules (Polymorph can do it, but Wild Shape is limited to Animal forms). But if you're trying to look like a powerful creature of good, the intent of the spell could have you looking like a great paladin without a hitch. Speaking of which, if you're trying to pass yourself as a great force of good, you'll probably have to deal with other high-level critters. In which case... If your party has nobody with a good spot modifier, you have nobody to blame if you fail at situations where it would come in handy. Trying to hide a battleready form behind an innocuous one means a seemingly low-level creature has a magical aura; if that cow radiates magic, it's got to be one special cow. So you get a spot check, the "is is magical" test (you can usually aim your cone away from the party), and if it's an actual social interaction, most social interactions require some minor physical interaction. (Seal all deals with a firm handshake if you really want to make sure.) So yes it's nice, but I really fail to see how any of the uses you outlined give the disguisee too much power. [/QUOTE]
