Effect: When this spell is CAST the illusionist is able to alter himself or herself in a manner similar to a change self spell.

However, alter self enables the caster to effect a quasi-real change,
so that size can be altered by 50% of actual.
If the form selected has wings,
the illusionist can actually fly,
but only at one-quarter the rate of speed of a true creature of that type,
and with a loss of two Maneuverability Classes (to a minimum of "E").
If the form has gills,
he can breathe underwater as long as the spell lasts.
Using alter self to change into a larger creature does not permit additional attacks or damage unless the illusionist is accustomed to this form.

Q: Can an illusionist also change his
equipment with an alter self spell?
A: The alter self spell allows clothing and
equipment to be altered just as the first-
evel change self spell allows.

Q: Can an illusionist use an alter self
spell to make functional plate
armor?
A: The alter self and change self spells can
create the appearance of any sort of
equipment, but they do not change the
caster?s armor class, nor do they create
usable equipment..
