09-30-05, 10:26 AM Hi, I was reading the Alter Self spell and I was trying to estblish what I could use it for.

I made a list of all the humanoid in the SRD and i have a few questions:

You acquire the physical qualities of the new form while retaining your own mind. Physical qualities include natural size, mundane movement capabilities (such as burrowing, climbing, walking, swimming, and flight with wings, to a maximum speed of 120 feet for flying or 60 feet for nonflying movement), natural armor bonus, natural weapons (such as claws, bite, and so on), racial skill bonuses, racial bonus feats, and any gross physical qualities (presence or absence of wings, number of extremities, and so forth). A body with extra limbs does not allow you to make more attacks (or more advantageous two-weapon attacks) than normal.

I have put with a (*) the racial bonuses which I'm not sure should be allowed, even though they qualify as Racial skills.

also what about breathing underwater for Merfolk, holding their breath for the lizardfolk, light sensitivity for the orcs, the stench for a troglodyte?

anyway here's the list your opinions and understanding are welcome:
