Message: <blockquote data-quote="Theroc" data-source="post: 4748262" data-attributes="member: 83115">Thanks for the advice again guys, I appreciate it.Deggman, something I should add is this will be the DM's first attempt at being a DM for a serious game, and the number of players is now approaching ten for her first adventure.  The materials that we have available for that campaign to my knowledge are in my signature, though she has not yet decided if she will disallow any material from them. Pretty much everyone in that group will be playing D&D for the first time for the most part.  I've played a few rules-light mini-adventures, but aside from that, I'm just a guy who stares at what rulebooks he can find like a kid looking in the window of the candy store.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />I will definitely look into getting some form of access to the Races of Eberron books, though one thing I noticed in my limited research that I disliked is that Shifters can basically change ONE aspect of themselves ONCE per day for only 30 seconds.  That's so much more limiting than the Lycanthropes, and they had other advantages.  Granted, Wizard's look at shifter's didn't give me ANY of the same numbers I got that I do for Lycanthropes, so perhaps those issues are addressed there.I am familiar with racial substitution levels from the Races of Stone, they had a few there.  I'll have to find Savage Species as well, and hope to stumble on some cash while I'm at it, rofl.Anyways, the reason I'd come up with the Doppleganger Druid concept was I was looking into becoming a powerful shapeshifter(Saw Warshaper and was like, "HOLY CRAP THAT'S AWESOME!"), but was concerned that the group would occasionally be stuck with NO healer, so I figured going Druid would allow my character to slot healing and support spells for the times that he wouldn't be wildshaping and charging into the fray(as the friend I KNOW intending to play a character wanted to play a Chaotic Good Cleric of the Healing and Destruction Domains, but his schedule prohibits a regular playschedule.)Hrm... I'm getting sorta derailed at this point.  In any case, I really appreciate this help, and one of these days I'll have to try and get ahold of these materials being recommended.As for Drow, they do seem to be kinda glossed over, and most likely due to the typical setup of them being nearly 'pure' evil, with the exception of the ever famous Drizzt.  I really appreciate all the advice you guys are giving.  As difficult it is for me to use alot of it, it also tells me which resources I should look into finding once I come into some money.  At the moment, it appears my best bet, though, is to ask her about the LA buyoff for simplicities sake(if playing a LA race with no Monster HD) rather than getting into homebrewing the DM.  Though, after looking at that Savage Progressions, that seems like a good thing to point out to the her if she gets internet when I show up to play.  Or I could try to get it in a Word Processor to print out for her.  I'd totally missed that was a link when I first started.Thanks so much guys.</blockquote>
