However Sean Reynolds take on Lycanthropes leans heavily in this direction in his 'Curse of the Moon' pdf. In that the character takes feats that provide specific mechanical effects while leaving the fluff pretty much up to the player/DM... Fer example, feat named "Wereform Special Ability" grants, quite simply, one of the special ablities of the Lycanthropic base creature.You could expand on his work to incorperate a wider range of base forms as his book focused on Animal and some Magical Beasts as base forms.Unless your class abilities/feats grant simple fixed changes the shapechange ability becomes much too complex. Something as simple as a size change can affect too many variables, and then you need to worry about stacking those size changes  { a Medium Skin changer who can assume a Large Hybrid Form becomes the target of an Enlarge spell and possesses a magical item that grants the Powerfull Build ablity..... so, whats your strength mod again?}But yes, check out Sean Reynolds PDF and the PHB II variant Druid options.</blockquote>
