[QUOTE="JohnSnow, post: 4166212, member: 32164"] I agree. I think, wait, not, I've been TOLD that we'll get shapeshifting when the druid class is released. So there [i]will[/i] be shapeshifting in 4e, if not in the first PHB. To an extent, it's a drawback of the class-based system. In stories, it's hard to tell a wizard from a shaman from a druid, unless said fiction is deliberately based on D&D (and it's not always easy even then). In D&D, the "shapeshifting wise-man" is more the druid's schtick than the wizard's. Will we see wizards transforming themselves? Given the popularity of Harry Potter's Animagi, I'm gonna guess yes. This may very well involve a ritual of some sort that the wizard has to learn (like Harry Potter's Pollyjuice Potion). Even if there is frequent shapeshifting, I'll go out on a limb and say I'm pretty sure it won't involve a single power. [/QUOTE]
