D&D 3E/3.5 [3.5] Alter Self

[Lord Pendragon]

Hate to be picky again but I couldn't do an Imp, 'cause it is tiny and I'm medium, and that isn't within' one size range. So basically mephits are the way to go.

Tellerve

Hey, let's get back to humanoids here.

 

[Saeviomagy]

Lycanthropes are a templated creature, and the spell won't allow you to take those forms, even if the creature type remains the same.

In a side note... lycanthroy now affects giants. Fear the storm giant weretiger.

Dang... I was just flipping through the book, and looking at the stat blocks. I didn't realise they were "example" creatures for the template.

 

[Elvinis75]

Still have reservations

I guess that I see possibilities but losing the flight at 2nd level option still rubs me the wrong way

By MMII, you can fly no matter what your type.

Is the MM2 core?

Nope. Monstrous Humanoid <> Humanoid.

There are no humanoids in MMII.

Well that just blows that idea. But being an outsider and a caster is still better.

Okay, now a question about spell mechanics:

The MM entry for the Bugbear lists its feats as: Alertness, Weapon Focus (morningstar).

Then later,

Racial Feats: A bugbear’s humanoid levels give it two feats.

So if you use Alter Self to change into a Bugbear, do you gain Alertness and Weapon Focus (morningstar)? It would seem so...

 

[Wippit Guud]

You're looking at the "Bugbear as a character" section... because of their ECL, they gain 2 feats for those 'bugbear' levels.

 

[Number47]

So if you use Alter Self to change into a Bugbear, do you gain Alertness and Weapon Focus (morningstar)? It would seem so...

You would gain the weapon focus as a racial feat (I think), but can only use it if you are also proficient in that weapon.
