Alter Self

[Olive]

Ok, I'm confused. Alter self allows you to change your wieght, but the spell offers no description of the size you can change to. also, can you just make yourself appear as a solar for example? obviously it isn't poly, so you don't have the abbilities there of, but is that with in the limits of the spell. it seems that the spell description is pretty vague...

I thought the spell said you could change your weight up to 1/2? IE you can add or subtract 1/2 your weight with your new form.

I see no reason why you couldnt look like a solar if you wanted to, as long as it's size isnt so much bigger as to increase your weight by 1/2.

Alter self is very similar to polymorph actually. It is basically the lowest version of that spell.

Since it doesn't change your size category, and the description for altering your appearance is almost identical to that in Change Self, you can use the clarifier in that spell - not more than 1 foot taller or shorter.

maybe... though it is a 2nd lvl spell. i think that the 1/2 weight issue is supposed to be a limit on size too. i guess you can't be a bird when you're a 6 ft human, cos the wieght difference would be too much.

we've always used the height rules from changes self: 1 foot taller or shorter

so you could be a very large bird. We've never run into this problem but I think you would be a very human looking bird.
