So I'd probably know either TradeSpeak or Halfling?

Yeap, but I will allow you to leave the slot open too. If you want to have the slot open, you'll be able, during the game, to learn a new language for free. It can be taken at any time you stay at a place long enough to learn a language (passing the night at an inn isn't good, passing a few month training your swordmanship would be good), as long as you have someone to teach you.

 

[Jdvn1]

Oh, so you'll make us train between levels?

 

[Velmont]

Most likely. I've always prefered to give the Xp when you have time to relax and think. I might do instant leveling during those break, but I'll try to make it a bit more realistic.

Well, here's the general gist of the Daggerspell Shaper:

Requirements: Any nonevil, Concentration 8, Weapon Focus (Dagger) and TWF, Wild Shape, and Sneak Attack

BAB: Medium
HD: d6
Good Saves: Ref, Will
Skills: Balance, Climb, Concentration, Craft, Handle Animal, Heal, Hide, Jump, Knowledge (nature), Listen, Move Silently, Profession, Ride, Spellcraft, Spot, Survival, Swim, Tumble
Skill Points: 6 + Int

1: Daggercast (cast spells when holding daggers), Wild Shape +1
2: Dagger claws (magical dagger properties are added to left hand and right hand of natural weapons when wildshaping), Tiny Wild Shape
3: Sneak Attack +1d6
4: Wild Shape (Large)
5: Wild Shape +2
6: Sneak Attack +2d6
7: Fast Wild Shape (move action)
8: Enhanced Wild Shape (merge STR/DEX/CON-boosting items when wildshaping)
9: Sneak Attack +3d6
10: Daggerspell Flurry (quicken one spell for free in a full attack), Wild Shape +3

What do you think, sirs?

 

[Jdvn1]

It's also medium BAB, d6 HD. What are the good saves? Fort and Will?

 

[Velmont]

Without the detail, I can't have a precise idea, but at first look, it looks like a strong PrC, but I see some disadvantage too. I would say go for it, but when you'll have time, I would like you to post the detail (what you gain at each level, description of Daggerspell flurry, Saves, Class skills and number of skill per level.)

 

[Jdvn1]

I think it's mechanically weak, myself.

You never make up for the BAB hit of multiclassing, the d6 hit dice make you a sub-par melee fighter, you miss out on some Wildshaping abilities and a bunch of Druid stuff, and only two or three of the abilities are really worth it IMO. To be a Widlshaper/Melee Fighter, there are much better PrCs. To be a caster, there are much better PrCs.

The color of the PrC is really cool, though.

 

[Velmont]

True. The only thing where it can become abusive is with the WildSahpe. You can compensate the lack of bab with high Str and lack of HP with high Con. And with all the magical power you maintain, it can turn into a nice combo. As I dunnot know what are the WS bonus, I can't tell if such abuse are easy, hard or impossible to do...

But as it focus on melee, and druid and rogue are far from the best class to become abusive melee fighther, I don't think I'll refuse it.

Amy, go for the idea, you got a green light.

Okay, posted more details. I think it's actually a bit underpowered, myself, because you have to have a high stat (Dex 15) to take certain feat, and that stat gets negated when wildshaping. And its melee-ness is on the rogueish side, so.

But I'm doing it largely for niftiness purposes, I must admit, so~. I'm still working on stats, but I think the general idea I'm going for is a girl who was adopted by the local druid (who need not be a druid, and could just be a nature-y adept or something), who acts as a general medicine-type and sage for the village but takes over after her death.

Or something similar. As a result, I'd probably be seeing Anthony a lot. ...and possibly we might've known each other since we were kids. Hmm.
