first of all when ever i refer to us or we i'm refering to me and people i game with
1. supose i have a spell casting shapechanger who wants more shapes can i use scry to study a creature in order to assume it's shape?
all i need is a description then a scry check 15 (20 if it's on another plane) maybe less depending on the situation with a posible bonus if i have the likeness or peice of the creature then.
2. if i can scry and learn how long do i have to study it for?
scry last for one min/level so if i have a 10/10 sorcerer/shifter he can scry for 10 mins is that enough does it have to be longer. do i have to witness a fight.
3. can a crystal ball be used to observe the creature for as long as you need to? or is there a limit to the crystal ball that i have not seen.
4. what about a staff or scroll of summon monster?
you don't have to be level 17 to use a staff just summon what you want and order it to attack you and you have been in combat with it.
5. how many shapes does a shifter/druid get?
is it all that they know. we've been playing it one shape per level with a lot of flexibility in how you "know a shape" allowing research or a knowledge check to chose a form never "seen before" after all wizards must catalog dead bodies and record abilities and how they work. from what i've read on the boards it seems as long as it's in the limits of the abiliity they can become it.
6. is there a duration for wildshape/greaterwildshape?
so far we have found no evidence that there is a duration for wildshape or greater wildshape and as such there is none in our game.
7. other then the ways i thought of wether is there any other way to learn about a monster then to have to fight it.
any help would be usefull. if there is a definet answer to a question please post where i can read it i have access to just about every book you can think of we buy at least one copy of just about any book that comes out.
thanks in advance
