I like the section but feel it is overpowered.With the amount of monsters you can turn into....by the time you are in your 10-20th level you have seen a number and if you were a shapeshifter specialist why not take knowledge (monsters) skill? With the rules as written even if you follow that the dragon might be balenced as Neo said unless you take lots of feats, it still does not limit the potential abuse of other creatures.....the fey (otto's irresistable dance from a pixie, some of the instant kill abilities of the fey), the undead (level drain every hit!). One comparison for the ultimate in non-epic shapeshifting is the shifter class and the 9th level (ie minimum 17th level character) spell shapechange. None of these allow (su) or (sp) abilities.......officially do not even allow type! In the QD rules ....the above are allowed at 13th level. Then add this up with prolonged metamorphosis with multiple different powerful creatures you then have an adaptable living tank!My solution would be to create high level druid spells which allow the addition of (sp) and (su) for short periods if one was keen to keep this flavour. Also I think it would not be unbalenced to have "acquire creature type" as a part of shifting abilities instead of (su) or (sp) and thus replace the spell that is in the book.Really liked it though.</blockquote>
