[QUOTE="Hypersmurf, post: 2459092, member: 1656"] I disagree there - I see no problem with a Druid/Wizard sharing Barkskin with his familiar, or even a Wizard sharing a Barkskin from a Ring of Spell Storing or a Limited Wish with his familiar. Even setting aside the Arcane Hierophant PrC from Races of the Wild. But apart from that: "You acquire the physical qualities of the new form while retaining your own mind. Physical qualities include natural size..." The natural size of a Centaur is Large, not Tiny or Small. "... and any gross physical qualities (presence or absence of wings...)" You specifically inherit the centaur's 'absence of wings'. "You can freely designate the new form’s minor physical qualities (such as hair color, hair texture, and skin color) within the normal ranges for a creature of that kind. The new form’s significant physical qualities (such as height, weight, and gender) are also under your control, but they must fall within the norms for the new form’s kind." 'Feathers' are not within the normal range of the hair texture of a centaur. Tiny or Small are not within the norms for a centaur, just as Mini-V is not within the norms for a human. "You are effectively disguised as an average member of the new form’s race." Whatever you described, it's not an average member of the Centaur race. -Hyp. [/QUOTE]
