[QUOTE="airwalkrr, post: 2908766, member: 12460"] I am a big fan of the shapeshifter variant. It captures the feel of what a druid should be much better imho. Plus, I like the unlimited uses per day. But Shaele brings up some good points. The lack of certain forms is its biggest weakness. However, I think it can be easily addressed with a few simple feats (as some have mentioned). Aquatic Form 3rd level druid with shapeshifter variant, Swim 4 ranks This most often resembles a dolphin or a large fish. You gain an aquatic form with a swim speed equal to your base land speed. You also gain a +4 enhancement to Str and your natural armor bonus improves by 4. You can breathe water in your aquatic form. At 7th level, your swim speed improves to 1 1/2 times your base land speed. Burrower Form 6th level druid with shapeshifter variant, Knowledge (nature) 4 ranks This most often resembles a badger or a gopher of some kind. Your size is reduced by one size category. You gain a burrow speed equal to half your base land speed. You also gain a +4 enhancement to Dex and +4 bonus to Fortitude saves. Your natural armor bonus also improves by 4. At 10th level your burrow speed equals your full base land speed. Climber Form 9th level druid with shapeshifter variant, Climb 4 ranks This most often resembles a monkey or ape. You gain a climb speed equal to one half your base land speed. You also gain a +8 enhancement to Str, a +4 enhancement to Fortitude saves and your natural armor bonus improves by 8. At 13th level your climb speed improves to your full base land speed. Inconspicuous Form 12th level druid with shapeshifter variant, Knowledge (nature) 8 ranks, Survival 4 ranks This most often resembles a rat or other small rodent. Your size is reduced by two size categories. You gain a +12 enhancement bonus to Dex, a +6 enhancement bonus to Fortitude saves, and your natural armor bonus improves by 4. Your base land speed becomes 20. At 16th level, you gain a climb speed and a burrow speed of 20. These might requires tweaks to fit your personal taste but they aren't too bad imho. [/QUOTE]
