[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 6116067, member: 57383"] I'm thinking of expanding the bit before the table as follows. [B]Bird Shape (Su):[/B] A bird maiden can use her enchanted feather garment (see below) to shapechange into a bird. A novice bird maiden can only assume the form of a tiny songbird, but more experienced bird maidens can take on many bird forms. This ability functions like the Alternate Form special ability, except as noted here. A bird maiden chooses a bird form to change into at character level 2, based on the example forms in the Bird Shape Table, then an additional bird form at each subsequent level up to level 8. At 9th level she can change from one bird form to another bird form without having to return to humanoid form in-between. At 10th level, she is no longer limited to the seven bird forms she selected previously, but can assume the form of any bird from Tiny size to Large size. A bird form must be that of a bird the bird maiden is familiar with. A bird maiden's chosen bird forms need not match the size of the actual bird - there are maidens who can change into pigeon-size peafowl or halfling-sized macaws. The maiden's chosen forms may reflect aspects of her character in some fashion. For example, a secretive bird maiden could have a nightjar as her 3rd level form, while a garrulous one may become a raven or mynah bird. The bird form has the abilities given in the Bird Shape Table presented below instead of the abilities normally granted by Alternate Form. They do not gain any special abilities or racial bonuses of the actual bird, such as a Giant Owl's superior low light vision and +8 racial bonus to Listen, or a buzzard's scent ability, with one exception: If the bird has a swim speed, the bird form gains a swim speed equal to the actual bird or half the bird form's fly speed, whichever is less.
