What are the limits to a half-dragon using the Disguise Self spell?

3

My understanding is that a meio dragão não pode use the spell disfarçar-se to appear human. A half-dragon just has too many limbs for that to work properly, not to mention technically the dragon is no longer humanoid in type.

Type: Creature type changes to dragon. Do not recalculate hit dice, base attack bonus, or saving throws.

O disfarçar-se spell says, "You cannot change your creature type (although you can appear as another subtype)."

Pode o disfarçar-se spell allow a half-dragon to appear as another Medium dragon, a wyvaran, a drake, or anything similar to dragons?

You can appear as a full Dragon, or another creature that is the Dragon type (including Wyvaran) enquanto you conform to the other restrictions of disfarçar-se. The spell is in no way restricted to Humanoid (except that Humanoids remain Humanoid, and other Types remain their same Type).

You can seem 1 foot shorter or taller, thin, fat, or in between. [...] the extent of the apparent change is up to you. You could add or obscure a minor feature or look like an entirely different person or gender.

So you could probably pass for a Medium Jovem metallic or chromatic dragon of your choice, but not a Gargantuan Grande Wyrm.


Side Note: Generally speaking, Ilusão spells don't care about things as paltry as number of limbs. Particularly, Glamer spells:

...changes a subject’s sensory qualities, making it look, feel, taste, smell, or sound like something else, or even seem to disappear.

If you were, say, an Alchemist with the Vestigial Arm Discovery, you could cover that up with disfarçar-se or a similar spell.
