Talk:Alter Race (5e Spell)

The spell is meant to allow the player to alter it's or others race. It use the 3.5 homebrew spell in D&D wiki called Alter Race as the base with a little bite a restriction if the player tries to turn into something like a dragon. Novum (talk) 08:06, 29 August 2021 (MDT)

I get that, it's probably the clearest part of this page. How, though, is kinda wonky. Like, what new traits do they gain? How many of them? Is there a limit on the power of these traits? All the stuff about mutation doesn't exactly help, either. It kinda bogs down the whole read. Also, the addendum about creature types needs work, dropping monstrous humanoid and outsider for a start.

Alright, since you edited your message since I started writing mine, I got more stuff to include. I can understand that restriction on size and creature type, but is there not several workarounds? Thanks to the real unclear mechanics, can I not just give myself all the stats of a dragon while maintaining the humanoid creature type?

In my opinion, this either needs much more concrete mechanics, or should just be deleted in favor of wish. --SwankyPants (talk) 08:14, 29 August 2021 (MDT)
