[QUOTE="Selganor, post: 9708819, member: 1135"] For the 6th level feature I was thinking of "borrowing" things from creatures you studied for a while (during/after a short rest?) or maybe even faster with use of Empathic/Telepathic effects. Maybe taking a hint from wildshape in regards to the CR of creatures. Since taking the appearance of someone would be one of the easiest things, maybe use Prestige as a minimum CR. (Or even add things). For another inspiration how about recording those imprints on some medium because someone could keep track of only a certain number of them. The mechanics could be asking the lines of the Artificer's schematic book (which could also limit certain tiers of effects/creatures to tiers of character level). The way these imprints are coded would probably be depending on the specific way they are recorded (into crystals, food/drink recipes, alchemical formulas, intricate weapons/armor patters, ...) but each would need a check (probably a tool you're proficient with) and some money/material. As for the specific things to be kept ready I was thinking of Int-Bonus forms that could be chosen per long rest (Which the player would then prepare stat blocks for easy access) and maybe PB uses per long rest (maybe refreshable by expending psionic focus?) I'm not sure if this should/need be a complete transformation of if you could just get parts (like: strength of the strongman to gain an expertise die on str-checks) Yes, I know this feature would probably take as much space as the rest of the class, but this seems like a great scaleable feature for somewhat experienced characters. Ideas, comments, ...? [/QUOTE]
