[QUOTE="EOL, post: 72830, member: 823"] I'm hoping to play a Druid, shooting for the Shifter PrC in a new campaign that's starting and I have a few questions: 1- Dire and Legendary animals are never mentioned as a type, does this mean that the shifter can never assume those forms? 2- The wild shape power says, "The druid may only adopt one animal form per use of this ability." Does this mean if a Druid has wild shape 3x/day that they only three animals that they can change into ever, or is it a way of restating that when the druid turns into an animal he's stuck as that animal until he turns back again? 3- I can't seem to find anything that states this explicitly but does a single shapechange last as long as the Druid/Shifter chooses? 3- Every time the Shifter changes form they heal damage, with evershifting form it would appear that they can heal an unlimited amount of damage, if so, do you think that's overpowered, if not why? 4- Is the class balanced? The flexibility of the class is such that there would seem to be lots of possibility for abuse. Right off the top of my head being able to take the form of a Roper(all abilities extraordinary, ECL +18) at 10th level seems out of whack. 5- Assuming that 90% of the creatures the Shifter can change into are okay any suggestions on handling the 10% that could be abused? I'm basically trying to think of all the objections my DM is going to come up with, so I can have an immediate answer. [/QUOTE]
