Message: <blockquote data-quote="Gez" data-source="post: 2218484" data-attributes="member: 1328">I'm still waiting for errata on the Daggerspell Shaper, since it states:A daggerspell shaper can change into a Small or Medium animal and back again, and can do so more often than most other characters with the wild shape ability. See the druid class feature, page 37 of the Player's Handbook.And this is very false.Let's compare. The earlier one can qualify is at level 6 (druid 5 for wildshape, rogue 1 for sneak attack).Druid 7 (3/day) vs. druid 5/rogue 1/shaper 1 (2/day) -- advantage straight druid.D 9 (3/day) vs. DRS 7/1/1 (4/day) -- advantage druid-heavy shaper, but...D 9 (3/day) vs. DRS 5/1/3 (2/day) -- advantage straight druid. And anyway...D 10 (4/day) vs. DRS 8/1/1 (4/day) or DRS 7/1/2 (4/day) -- even. The advantage worked only for one level.Now, for the coup de grâce:D 20 (6/day + 3/day) vs. DRS 9/1/10 (6/day) -- advantage straight druid.D 20 (6/day + 3/day) vs. DRS 18/1/1 (7/day + 2/day) -- tie, with more animal wildshapes for the Shaper, but more elemental wildshapes for the druid; but such a multiclassed character could not really claim to be primarily a daggerspell shaper.The thing is, the druid gets three levels in a row where his number of wild shapes per day increase (5, 6, 7). The Shaper do not. So, only by becoming a Shaper after druid level 7 can he outperform the single-classed druid... Who, at this time, gets Large wildshape  anyway.Then the druid waits three levels (from 7 to 10), and then four levels (from 10 to 14 and from 14 to 18). Without counting elemental wildshapes. The DSS, on the other hand, waits four levels (from 1 to 5), then five (from 5 to 10).</blockquote>
