[QUOTE="Jediking, post: 7523647, member: 6803126"] Your group has obviously played together, built up trust, and run a successful game. You and your DM seem open and on the same page. Using this as a one-time event to further everyone's enjoyment should be fine, and can not be easily abused if it is limited solely to this one event. Make it special and go on a side quest if needed. But some mechanics to back it up: "Shapechanger" may refer to creatures of that type, not to a Druid Wild Shape feature. Werewolves/bears/rats specifically have this description, while your druid will be a humanoid. You can choose one creature - per the spellcasting rules, this can include yourself. The sticking point for the spell is: Creature into Creature: If you turn a creature into another kind of creature, the new form can be any kind you choose whose Challenge rating is equal to or less than the target's (or its level, if the target doesn't have a Challenge rating). [B]The target's game Statistics, including mental Ability Scores, are replaced by the Statistics of the new form.[/B] It retains its Alignment and personality. so even if you handwave everything else and just say you are turning yourself into yourself - mental ability scores (including Cha) can't change. RAW: no, you can't do it. RAI: no, you can't do it. You and your DM and your party: you won't break anything. go for it, but don't let yourself or others do it again. Option B: go searching for a magic robe that looks fancy (+Cha) but makes you ill (-Con) [/QUOTE]
