Alter Self Spell and Mask of Flesh Warlock Invocation
Posted: Wed Nov 28, 2018 7:49 am
I think we should implement the "Alter Self" spell from PnP.
Alter Self is a 2nd level spell that has a duration of 10 minutes/level.
It's like Polymorph, applies the Shift Shape feat just like it does, but only humanoid forms are allowed. Basically: Any of the Playable Races: Elf, Human, Drow, Dwarf, Tiefling, Aasimar etc.
Now: the next part I don't know if it can be done via coding, but it would be nice.
Allow Polymorph/Shapechange/Alter Self to have an additional option from the pop-up menu: Selection.
Basically: If you want to disguise as a SPECIFIC person, you can cast the spell on THEM instead of casting on yourself, and it would transform the Caster into a copy of that person.
You could even, possibly, allow the spell to change your name to match that person's, on the caveat that it has quotations or something around it to signify it.
For example: John disguises as Peter, John's name would change to "Peter" for the duration.
The spell would be entirely cosmetic, and would function like a Wild Shape: All your Worn Gear retains it's bonuses, and you would retain your ability to cast spells/invocations because you would be changing into another Humanoid creature capable of gesturing/speaking to cast spells.
This would function as the Warlock Invocation Mask of Flesh from the Complete Mage. This makes it so that, consequently, you could also grant this as a Lesser Invocation.

You could even, potentially, do the following:
Allow the spell to function like the Teleportation Rune system.
But instead of Empty Runes: You could allow "Empty Masks."
Just like the Blood Magus' ability to "Mark" people with Bloodwalk, you could "Mark" people with the Alter Self spell.
Then you cast the spell again on the Rune in your inventory...and change shape into that person.
For example: You could have a "Rune" of "FAI Guard."
Cast the spell once on an FAI guard ((OOC)) to "Mark them."
Then cast it again upon the Rune...and VOILA! You transform into an FAI Guard as a disguise.
Could this be done? Is this feasible?
Thoughts? Comments? Witticisms? Critiques?
