Is this legal? (MotW- Savage Species)

Fling is another example, though I believe it takes 2 actions to use, one to grab and one to throw.

At 7th level Mandy can walk around just as if she were a medusa with the spellcasting ability of a 5th level wizard. That's an ECL 15 at 7th level. Now, one dispel magic can throw her back into her old form, but I doubt that's enough of a balancing factor.

ECL 15. Riiight. That's just silly and you know it.

Other than that this seems legal enough. And it's not overpowered.

Here's somethin' to ponder -- could a Druid 5/Shifter 7 turn themself into a Half-Dragon version of themself? Could a Druid 5/Shifter 9 turn himself into a Half-Celestial or Half-Fiend version of themselves? Could a Druid 5/Shifter 8 turn themselves into a Vampire? A NE Druid 11/Shifter 8 turn themself into a Lich?

Some DMs disallow Templates completely for Shifters. Once your past that fact ...

I wouldn't let Shifters mix and match Templates. Just because they know what a Half-Dragon/Ogre looks like, doesn't mean they know what a Half-Dragon/Them looks like.

If they somehow met themselves with a Template, then they could go ahead and shift into it. Otherwise, they'd have to turn into something else that they had met with the Template.

 

[LokiDR]

I am fairly certain it is stated that you can never wildshape/polymorph into any sort of templated creature. Base creatures only. Dire isn't a template, so wildshape doesn't break the convention.

Note that last time someone asked 10 people on whether a Shifter could Shift into Templated forms, they got 12 different answers.

I know -- I was the one who asked I was hoping there might've been some consensus or such since I'd asked some months ago...
