Baeril's Lizardskin Coat

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

Lizardfolk exist all over Ptolus, and are an almost invisible homeless population, as most other residents can't tell the difference between them. As a result, my gnome illusionist wants to make a specialized version of disguise self so that he can have long-term it-might-as-well-be-invisibility, trading the flexibility of the original spell for a significantly longer duration.

Feedback wanted.

Baeril's Lizardskin Coat
Illusion (Glamer)
Level: Sor/Wiz 1
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: 1 hour/level (D)

You make yourself — including clothing, armor, weapons, and equipment — look like one of the lizardfolk, dressed in a loincloth and a few other scraps of clothing. By default, the glamer is of a medium-sized lizardfolk. If you are more than one size removed from medium, the spell only creates the illusion of being one size category closer to medium, making for a smaller or larger than usual lizardfolk.

The spell does not provide the abilities or mannerisms of one of the lizardfolk, nor does it alter the perceived tactile (touch) or audible (sound) properties of you or your equipment, nor does it impart the ability to speak or understand Draconic.

If you use this spell to create a disguise, you get a +10 bonus on the Disguise check.

A creature that interacts with the glamer gets a Will save to recognize it as an illusion.

Is there enough transformation magic in it to leave lizardman footprints?

Hmm. Hadn't thought about that. I'd probably go with a modified alter self if I was looking for that. This is mostly a "hunch in a doorway across from our target for four hours without getting run off or spotted" spell.

If Baeril was big on lizardfolk, Did he perhaps have a 3rd level spell with Alter Self but restricted to Lizardfolk? Perhaps it could be similar to Alter self but allow longer duration, say 20min per level +20min for each intelligence bonus of the caster?

(Who likes the idea of natural armor and holding breath.) Plus it has to be huge to run through the nasty sewers as a nasty lizard then halt the spell and be all clean and untranformed .

Baeril's level 1 and will be picking up levels of bard and gnome paragon (to be a Supergnome) before increasing his illusionist level for the near future.
