Shifter...

[Stalker0]

Whoops, missed that line about the shifter. Damn, there even more powerful than I thougt

So I guess that your longsword +2 would become a large sized longsword +2... 2d6 damage from memory instead of 1d8. Ouch. With a strength of 36 behind it... OUCH!

I'm beginning to feel sorry for the monsters...

Yeah

So there are rules buried somewhere on upsizing (or downsizing for that matter) weapons?

One other thing, I noticed that the 'fey' creature type isn't ever listed. Does that mean shifters can't take on a fey form ever? are there any other creature types missing?

Found 'em! DMG, page 162 has a chart for it.

No fey, no shapeshifters.

For your firbolg, try a scimitar (as it won't violate druid oaths). The improved critical range is quite nifty, although you only get 1d8+14 damage instead of 2d6+14.

for a 14 page discussion on the shifter and it's many, many confusing rules go here

It certainly helped me when i was trying to decide if i wanted to play a shifter

No fey, no shapeshifters.

A rather interesting choice by WOTC. At high level you can take on the form of Demons, Devils, Dragons, Undead but neiter Fey or shapeshifters.

Maybe it was an oversight.
Could someone check if any Shapeshifter (or fey) gains an Extraordinary Shifting Ability? If yes, than they might have feared a loophole.

But the loophole is, in a limited way, there - look at the Mimic (an Abberation, if memory serves well), if you shift into this form, you can use its extra-ordinary ability to shift into any kind of object, within some (maybe severe) size limitations, and won`t have to pay any of your daily wildshapes for it.
(Okay, it`s not really "powerful", but it might be of some limited use...)
