[QUOTE="Jack of Tales, post: 4039551, member: 59475"] I know there is the Wild [or something like that] trait for armors but from what I recall reading this usually (always up to DM interpretation) does not work while shapeshifted. I searched through all the crystals (and a general word search since I converted all my books to pdf) for anything about wildshape, wildling, etc but couldn't find anything matching the description you gave. So it looks like I'd be stuck being unable to use whatever benefits the boon item gave while shapeshifted. If that's the case I'm thinking of mixing in either deflection or natural armor with that 15k +1 caster level bonus. Extra DC's, buff durations and longer disabling spells are always useful. As for the item itself, I really like the way it looks/story behind it so far: Boon Item background: [sblock]Boon item: This strange object encases Faris's left forearm. It appears to be a large, single bracer of iron with small rubies inset in spiraling patterns. The bracer extands down over the back of her fist where it splits into several small chains with individual silver rings for her fingers. The unique item was found rather then created for the family although since it was found no one has been able to use it but those of her bloodline. Her great, great, grandmother began the tradition of heading out on adventure on one's seventeenth birthday. In this case, her ancestor found her way into an old wizard's complex located somewhere in the Aldeen Reaches. While the location of the place is no longer known, it is said that it had previously been looted before her great, great grandmother ever arrived. However the band found a door with large spirals full of inset rubies. These rubies were stuck fast and neither magic nor strength could remove them. When the Ravenblood approached the door it spiralled open to reveal a large, dust covered room with numerous old skeletons scatterred about. Further investigation showed strange gnaw marks on the bones. Situated on a pedestal behind a stone alter sat this bracer. The first to remove it was a gnome hunter who provided guiding to the location but he could not figure out how to use or wear the strange object. After Faris's relative took the item it seemed to put itself on. The band took this as a sign and let her keep the object. The strange item is said to provide a small amount of protection to its wearer in addition to increasing the effects of any spell cast while wearing it. (+2 deflection bonus (6k) and +1 caster level (15k) =21k and digging into the 4k for other equipment. I considered making it a Wis bonus instead, but I like the gauntlet idea so much better and Wis only adds to throat/head)[/sblock] EDIT: Okay question about if I wanted to use shifter (not the racial sub. levels) as the race.
