Hi guys, I have an important question for you all.
Note that it's about D&D 3.0, not 3.5!
If I use Alter Self, can I change,for example, into a "malaugrim"(Monsters of Faerun)?The spell description doesn't say anything about the type of creatures avaiable...it only talks about weight(+0.5*your weight or -0.5*your weight)and about adding or subtracting one or two appendages.
The "malaugrim"'s weight is about like a human's and it has three appendages, so I think it's possible...
What do you think about it?
Please answer as early as you can!I need it!
Bye!

Nothing in the spell description prevents you from changing into a Malaugrym, so you can.

You'll only get to levitate 'round and wave your tentacles, though.

Thank you very much!
Not exactly "levitating" and nothing else..I have powerful combos...taking the feat:assume supernatural ability I can change in almost everithing thanks to the malaugrim's alternate form(the first change is a standard action and the following ones are free actions, because it works like "shapechange").I also get the type and the Ex abilities of the forms.And if I take the assume supernatural ability for a 12 headed pyro-hydra(24 heads if i cut them and let them regrow)breath.I can deal 72d6 of fire damage every 1d4 rounds...Anyway,thank you again!Bye!

Undoubtedly, once you toss in "that" the situation changes "a bit"... ;)

Just remember that, IIRC, the Malaugrym Alternate Form doesn't change your physical stats, nor does Alter Self.
