(this one is mute to me ^_^; )Were[Something]:-Pros:--Can use all equipment, including weapons, in hybrid form without penalty or wilding claps--Augments base form (+2 wise and --Provides bonus feats[iron will if none lese]--has damage reduction--numerous special qualities.-Cons--X levels of animal levels--A level adjustment of 2 or 3--predetermines initial feats--If the Were type gives a bonus feat in addition to iron will then it also neutralizes the bonus feat from being human, making human weres of that kind weaker then others.Given that I have the exp of a level 3 character to work with, and that if I made a Were character I would want it to use a werecheetah (yeash, I really like cats, cheetahs in particular ^_^; ) ECL 6, I’m leaning towards the shifter and doing trades for the druidly magic.So, I’m wondering: could the druidly magic be traded for any of the fallowing, in order of preference:Drift, as per the Geomancer class(perhaps looping after level 10?)The ability to utilize the enchantment bonus from magic items while shapeshifted.Something not listed?Increased HP dice(d10/d12)Full BABSomething not listed that is more bland then HP or BAB ^_^;</blockquote>
