I think this would also be used by anyone with the means to walk
around incognito periodically. Swap bodies to a servent, go buy some
groceries, listen to servent gossip, etc...

People think of body swapping as a big abuse/rape. But I think you'd
find a lot of people who would willingly trade bodies with you for a
couple of silver. That's just capitalism at work. You'd find a whole
lot more people willing to step out of their bodies for a month or two
for enough money to keep their families fed for a year.
