[QUOTE="Scorf, post: 334444, member: 7044"] Hello, I created the following Template and wanted some feedback. Does it seem balanced to everyone? Thanks. Half-Shifter (Template) Either by magical experiments or freak accident, these humanoids have gained abilities akin to Dopplegangers, while retaining a partial hold on their ‘normal’ heritage. Hit Dice: Same as the original creature. Speed: Same as the original creature. AC: Same as the original creature. Special Attacks: Same as the original creature. Special Qualities: Alter Self, Detect Thoughts Alter Self (Su): A half-shifter can assume the shape of any Small or Medium-size humanoid. This works like the spell, but the half-shifter may remain in the chosen form indefinitely. They can assume a new form or return to their own as a full action. Detect Thoughts (Su): A half-shifter can use this ability once per day as a sorcerer equal to their effective character level (Will Save, DC: 12 + Charisma modifier). They can use this ability as a standard action. Saves: Same as the original creature Skills: A half-shifter receives a +2 racial bonus to Bluff and Disguise checks. *When using alter self, a half-shifter receives an additional +10 circumstance bonus to Disguise checks. Feats: Same as the original creature. ECL: +2 Appearance: Due to their doppleganger heritage, a half-shifter’s skin retains a greyish ‘hue’; a leathery, malleable texture; and is totally devoid of body hair in their natural form. Otherwise they conform to their base creature in appearance. [/QUOTE]
