When a creature uses alterself to turn into something bigger or smaller than its normal form, what happens to: 1.) Its equipment 2.) Size modifiers to skills (ex:Hide), attacks, grapples, etc. I was just wondering if a halfling became a dwarf, would they be naked (clothes don't fit so get absorbed), or would the equipment resize as with enlarge person? Would the weapons do more damage like enlarge person, or stay the same like the physical stats?

pres_man 01-29-05, 05:37 PM	if you can use it Yeah, what does that mean? If I'm a halfling wearing full-plate and alterself into a dwarf, or worse a lizardfolk, does my full-plate get bigger and fit me like it did when I was a halfling?

Just convince your DM to use Skip's rules of the game article ... he basically interprets it such that if you can use a version of the item appropriate for your size then it will resize if need be.

Size modifiers of course apply. You're no longer small! A dog with all dog equipment that alterselfs into a cat gets new catsized equipment that it can still use. If it turned into an octopus it could wear its hats and arm bracelets, but nothing else.
