[QUOTE="Hand of Vecna, post: 1239415, member: 755"] Seeing the "Spirit of the Beast" feat in [i]Dragon[/i] #313 got me to thinking -- is there any way for a Druid (or, better yet, a Shifter) to do a 'partial' Wild Shape? Being able to sprout Dragon wings, or turn one arm into an octopus tentacle, or sprout Beholder eyestalks from their head, just sounds really cool. I'm thinking it'd take an Epic Feat, and prerequisites would be something along the lines of XX ranks in the Knowledge skills that govern knowledge of the critters you want to incorporate into the partial change (so a human Shifter wanting to gain Octopus arms would need XX ranks in Knowledge: Nature, while an Epic Sifter wanting to gain a Beholder's Eyestalks would need XX ranks in Knowledge: Dungeoneering; the dragon wing thing would require XX ranks in Knowledge: Arcana, and so on), and perhaps XX ranks in Survival (so you can know how to make the pieces fit together in a viable manner, though that may be covered by the Knowledge skill prerequisites). Perhaps also a Dexterity & Constitution requirmeent ("Spirit of the Beast" has one). Comments? [/QUOTE]
