Druid wildshaping into a higher HD monster than himself?

[kpdezend]

Are there any rules for allowing a druid/shifter to wildshape into a creature of higher hitdice than him/herself?

thanks,

You mean rules to do exactly what Wild Shape doesn't allow you to do? Haven't heard of any, no.

Well... yeah. But at some sort of expense. For example, be able to Wildshape x2 the HD for 1/10th the time.

OR

An XP cost to do so.

OR

a super-fatigued state, where you temporarily (or permanently) lose levels or hitpoints.

AND/OR

Requires a special feat

OR

instead of x2 HD, it simply grants +2 or +4 with the feat that is stackable.

What do you think?

Those are all acceptable suggestions. Perhaps (if official rules are indeed non-existant) you should direct this conversation into House Rules.

Edit: just realized you did. Sorry

It's OK. I just wanted to get some feedback on this idea.

Have a great day!

The 'Wild Shape Amulet' from 'Magic of Faerun' allows you to wildshape as a druid of 4 lvls higher, so 4 more HD is also an option. ... it's 40.000 gp.
