Uses for Alter Self when you are a magical beast?

[killem2]

I've seen the list for familiar usage, but are there any that good for a full 1-20 HD character like myself?

I'm already 6hd now, at the rate our sessions progress probably be 7 or 8 soon enough.

nm max 5hd :(

There's a handbook (http://www.minmaxboards.com/index.php?topic=2811.0) for that, too.

Nice, I was just checking in general but that was because I forget it only goes upto 5hd. I knew of the handbook.

I created my own monster bible (yes like the other, bibles that float around on the internet) for my own personal use, but I was just trying to save time.

I will have to do some searching. :smallfrown: (5150 pages).
