My player is a halfling rogue who got it to blend in with the surroundings. Most of my towns are humanmade (medium size), and although I allow her to become a human kid, I'm not sure if I should give her the opportunity to change to a full grown man.

So can the hat of disguise change your sizecategory (by one)?

06-06-07, 05:54 AM No, its based on disguise self (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/disguiseSelf.htm).
Which limits your size change with 1 foot which isn't enough to make someone appear human.

Yup. (meaning no you can't)

However, the epic usage of the disguise skill (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/epic/skills.htm#disguise) can allow you to appear up to 50% taller (with a -50 to the roll). A hat of disguise only gives you a +10 bonus on the Disguise check, but if you were good enough then you could possibly appear to be a (very short) human.

... maybe if you sat on top of another halfling and used a trenchcoat...

I checked on the spell and came to the same conclusion, but it's never bad to be sure.
