[QUOTE="Henry, post: 3398021, member: 158"] In your opinion, what are THE most powerful combat-minded shapechange forms available to a 17th to 25th level caster? Keeping in mind BOTH the limitations of the spell and the errata to the spell. So far, the two that come to my mind are the Pit Fiend, and the Dread Linnorm. The Pit Fiend has the greatest number of special abilities and some of the best ability scores and AC, and the Dread Linnorm at higher levels has the high damage attacks, the negative-level inducing bites, and the ability to just SIT ON most opponents and kill them. :) While I like the Balor and the Solar, the Balor doesn't get his infamous weapons, negating a lot of his prowess, and the Solar is a great defensive form, but again, because of lack of signature weapons, is more defensive than offensive. Besides these two, what are your suggestions, and why? [/QUOTE]
