[QUOTE="Visigani, post: 5657079, member: 6676235"] So let me see if I'm understanding this right... your concern is that you could have a spell of this type that would allow one to be an elf, a dwarf, and so forth... but what you turn into isn't important and hence isn't a balancing factor? Alright, you're going to tell me with a straight face that turning into a LIZARDMAN and walking around the king's court isn't going to raise a FEW eyebrows? So I got this spell, let's me appear to be a dwarf with a mass of writhing tentacles in place of my eyes... but at least as a dwarven mass of writhing tentacles they won't know WHO I am... SCORE! Nevermind that any sane guard will likely see to it you're murdered in short order given the opportunity. Yes, having a wide variety of things to turn into at a given moment is HUGE benefit of Alter self. I'm just a Lizardman hangin' out here with my good friends the elves. That won't raise no suspicion. Hyuck! [/QUOTE]
