Alter Self Spell:
So if a small creature turned himself into a medium creature (or vise-versa)
Does his equipment also enlarged/reduced to the right size?? (similar to how enlarge/reduce person spell works)
*enlarge person effect on equipments:
Oh, and does the +2 bonus to strength/dexterity works separately from the size enhancement bonuses??
This confuses me because in enlarge person it states that :
But the alter self spell effect doesn't have any penalty, nor does it state that the bonuses are due to change in size.
If it works separately, then a human could transform into an elf using alter self to gain +2str
And a dwarf could transform into an orc to gain +4str, -2dex, -1AC, -1 attack rolls
And lastly... does 'permanency' spell worked with this spell..?
When you cast this spell, you can assume the form of any Small or Medium creature of the humanoid type. If the form you assume has any of the following abilities, you gain the listed ability: darkvision 60 feet, low-light vision, scent, and swim 30 feet.
Small creature: If the form you take is that of a Small humanoid, you gain a +2 size bonus to your Dexterity.
Medium creature: If the form you take is that of a Medium humanoid, you gain a +2 size bonus to your Strength.
Small creature: If the form you take is that of a Small humanoid, you gain a +2 size bonus to your Dexterity.
Medium creature: If the form you take is that of a Medium humanoid, you gain a +2 size bonus to your Strength.
Does his equipment also enlarged/reduced to the right size?? (similar to how enlarge/reduce person spell works)
*enlarge person effect on equipments:
All equipment worn or carried by the creature is similarly enlarged by the spell. Melee weapons affected by this spell deal more damage. Other magical properties are not affected by this spell. Any enlarged item that leaves an enlarged creature's possession (including a projectile or thrown weapon) instantly returns to its normal size. This means that thrown and projectile weapons deal their normal damage. Magical properties of enlarged items are not increased by this spell.
Oh, and does the +2 bonus to strength/dexterity works separately from the size enhancement bonuses??
This confuses me because in enlarge person it states that :
The target gains a +2 size bonus to Strength, a -2 size penalty to Dexterity (to a minimum of 1), and a -1 penalty on attack rolls and AC due to its increased size.
If it works separately, then a human could transform into an elf using alter self to gain +2str
And a dwarf could transform into an orc to gain +4str, -2dex, -1AC, -1 attack rolls
And lastly... does 'permanency' spell worked with this spell..?
