Allows you to change into a creature of the SAME type as yourself.. up to 1 size category difference.. you retain your existing subtype..

So, a Human Wizard casts Alter Self.. can he change into the hybrid form of a werebear?

The 3.5 Lycanthorpes are listed as Humanoid with shapechanger as the subtype.

08-09-04, 08:24 AM That is also a Template.. thus not an option.

maybe with Polymorph, but not with Alterself.
