Is there any item that grants continuous use of Alter Self?
If not, would the standard creation for continuous-use magic items be appropriate in regard to the price? (level 2 * CL 3 * 2000) = 12000gp

If you note footnote 3, spells with durations measured in 10min/level such as Alter Self get an additional 1.5x price multiplication, for a total of 18,000gp.

However, I believe this is the sort of item that would go beyond the price guidelines.

Consider that you can turn yourself into a Troglodyte using Alter Self. That would grant you a +6 Natural Armor bonus, with no appreciable penalties. You would also get natural weapons.

The normal price for +6 Natural Armor would be 36,000gp, also from the price guidelines.

However, the versatility of changing into multiple forms for whatever a situation demands should further increase the price.

I would personally think that an item like this should cost about 50,000gp, if not a bit more.

Note that you could get a Cloak of Disguise (as Hat of Disguise) for the same cost as a Hat though, because hats and cloaks have similar affinities. You can still look different that way at least, and it is much cheaper.

Ah, I suppose it might be used for broken purposes.. What of, say, a cloak that only allows the wearer to alter himself into a kobold? :P
