How does Alter Self affect your appearance? Can the spell be used to make you look like someone specific, and if so, how effective is it?

The original version of the spell outlinned some Disguise bonuses. Without this text, the spell might need some clarification.


I think this falls under the description of the Polymorph subschool -- all Polymorph spells allow you to alter your appearance and give you a +20 bonus on your Disguise check.

I agree it's not clear, though.

I look forward to casting alter self to look just like myself, but I'm a little stronger.
