You know, maybe that neatly explains the traditional garb of the mages in general, from the easily removed robe to the half-naked sorceress.The present version of things invites some very interesting abuses, such as the wizard who picks up something which is much too large for him to reasonably haul off, perhaps because it is immensely massive, or simply too heavy to fall within the weight restrictions of other spells, uses Alter Self or similar spell to "absorb" all of these items, and then walks/teleports/flies off with them. For instance, our now shirtless wizard has conveniently concealed the fact that he ever had a shirt to begin with. No amount of searching him can possibly reveal that he ever had the shirt. Substitute "shirt" for "contents of royal treasury", and it gets more interesting.And what happens to a wizard who sustains the loss of non-vital body parts and extensions in a manner which doesn't inflict loss of hitpoints, such as having his hair cut during an Alter Self effect? What happens to those components when they're removed from the altered wizard? Do they remain in that state until the spell expires, or do they immediately change back? What if the wizard does not have a corresponding part, such as if the above wizard is bald?</blockquote>
