[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 4801211, member: 19675"] I know I'm late to the thread, but my instinct on this was that because of the nature of their abilities, they should have big HD (d10 or d12) and a medium BAB (like the Cleric or Druid). To me, their control over their body is such that that even at rest, they should be tougher and more resilient than the average PC, and meshes well with the good Fort save. And the fact that they seem to have so many ways to boost their offensive capabilities via their shapechanging means they don't really need that full BAB. In fact, full BAB might make them a tad über. (I could be wrong- only a true playtest would tell for sure.) I may have missed it, but some form of regen or self-healing would seem to be appropriate to a class like this, much like the Psionic power Body Adjustment.

Just my $0.02. [/QUOTE]
