You not only get some of the their standard abilities as you would from a beast shape spell, but you also get some of their special or spell-like abilities that normally aren't available with beast shape or polymorph  spells. For example, when assuming hell hound form, you get its fire  breathing ability. When assuming lamia form, you get some of its  spell-like or supernatural magical abilities. The forms available to the  shapeshifter are dependent on the character's class level.The Grimoire Viperian Shapeshifter is also highly customizable, letting  you choose favored forms and special form abilities so no two  shapeshifters are exactly alike! In some ways these are very similar to  the barbarian rage powers and/or rogue talents. The Grimoire Viperian  Shapeshifter doesn't rage, but you get to pick special powers that can  be used when in certain forms.
