Yeah, I realize that, but I do need to work out a few plot threads that are NOT there purely for the funny.
On the house rules front, are there any Alter Self / Polymorph / Shapechange lists out there of not-quite-broken forms? I'm going to draw up limited lists for the spells, so people know at a glance what their options are, but if someone's already done the work, it'd save some time to just check against an existing list.
