Brown Fur Transmuter Questions

[Shorticus]

This is the Brown Fur Transmuter. It has some abilities that are very interesting for buff-focused mages, but they bring up some questions.

1. If I use Alter Self on a party member to make them a Half-Elf, may I immediately follow up with Paragon Surge to give them a bonus feat?

2. Let's assume I had the Shapechanger Bloodline somehow. Mutable Flesh reads as follows:

Quote:

Mutable Flesh (Su): At 3rd level, once per day when you cast a transmutation spell with a duration of 1 minute per level that affects only you, you can increase its duration to 10 minutes per level. At 9th level, you can increase the duration to 1 hour per level.

'Affects only you' is not the same as 'range of personal.' However, could I cast a spell, swift action Mutable Flesh it to increase its duration, and then spend my reserve point to make it have a range of touch?

Polymorphism doesn’t change type, they only look like a half elf. They are not a half elf.

Are you sure “effects only you” means Range:touch targeting you. I don’t think that isn’t the meaning.

Once you touch someone else, it’s not only you and you lose the boost.
