[QUOTE="Shayuri, post: 4897475, member: 4936"] Looking at artillery/arcanist here. Sorceror perhaps, or Warlock. Since no one else has proposed a primary arcanist, probably a sorceror. Though I had an idea for a 'technomagic' warforged warlock that I've been dying to try... As for the changeling, that change undermines the 'flavor' of the race, IMO. The whole deal with changelings is that you can never tell who they are (short of magic that's beyond the ken of most folks). If they turn back every so often, that messes with that. And it adds some bookkeeping. You'll be getting a lot of, "How long do I have before I change back?" I think changelings as they are are pretty balanced. [B]If[/B] you're concerned about changeling warshapers, I'd suggest one of two options: 1) Address the PrC. Since it's not as hard to qualify for now, you might tone down some of its spiffier boons a little. 2) Rule that Changelings do not have the Shapechanger subtype. The 'Minor Change Shape' power, being essentially superficial, does not count as shapechanging and thus does not warrant the subtype. This would be a house rule, and would represent a slight depowering of the Changeling race, so if you do this, you might consider throwing them a bone in the form of some minor bonus or compensation.
