Alter Self (spell)

Alter self is able to dramatically adjust the shape of the caster's physical form, though the end result must still be that of a humanoid. Unlike the 1st level spell, change self, alter self is not an illusion, but provides a real physical change.

Thus the caster is able to adjust his or her eyes so as to possess infravision, or hands to become serviceable claws, or even to achieve the ability to breathe water by developing the gills possessed by mermen and sahuagin. Through the spell, the caster is able to raise or lower strength by 2 pts.; no other ability stat may be so adjusted.
