[QUOTE="Pax, post: 1538144, member: 6875"] Even better, then - Disguise Self [b]cannot[/b] change your size - plus or minus one foot of height isn't going to change your size category. And a werebear in hybrid form is size Large. So ... which size [b]large[/b] creature does he disguise himself as ... ? ^_^ Which gives you problems wearing or carrying anything at all. That's one heck of a lot of clothes you'll be ruining, for example, as you get into situations where you have to go to hybrid form [b]right then[/b], with no time to disrobe and preserve those clothes. Nor put on yoru hybrid-sized armor, either. Either size-inappropriate for wielding in hybrid form, or, of remarkably unusual size while carrying it around in human shape. Why? Simple: a Human is size medium; a Human/Werebear in hybrid form is size Large. Wouldn't fly with a reasonable GM. A necklace thatw oudl fit a size Large creature like an Ogre or hybrid-shape Werebear would be a [b]belt[/b] for a human. For the job of tanking, yes, you're absolutely right - the reach, power, and DR will serve you very well indeed. However, [i]almost everywhere else[/i], you will be disadvantaged. That is the nature of playing a specialised race aimed at a specialised role. [/QUOTE]
