[QUOTE="Tiago Telles, post: 7604852, member: 6923313"] [COLOR=#333333]I recently started a campaign where I'm playing a Yuan-ti Pureblood Warlock. We started at lvl 5 and rolled for stats, so I got myself a 20 CHA for the lvl 4 ASI. My DM granted us magic items and gave us a lot of freedom to choose from the DMG. I got a Rod of Pact Keeping +1, Bracers of Protection and a Tome of Leadership and Influence (And pumped my CHA to 22). The thing is, I started thinking about it and I found it unfair to other players (they're new players, so they were happy with +1 weapons and armors, and simple things like that) that I had access to a Very Rare item. I talked to my DM and told him I thought I was getting an unfair advantage over the rest of the group, and asked if I could get an Unusual Ability from Volos and he was OK with that.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#333333]Now I can't make my mind, because as cool and thematic as Shapechanger looks, I don't see much advantage on getting it.
