Outsider alter self ideas

[Mike Miller]

I have a half-celestial wizard and was wondering what interesting things I could do with alter self as an outsider.

I hear a Dwarf ancestor from MM4 (IIRC) was a good choice for outsiders. +18 natural armour is pretty high powered. Does require a caster level of 5 though.
