And I've actually thought of one........The Sorcerer should have their own sort of *wild shape* abilities, but kind of twisted.5th Level: Wild shape once a day7th Level: Wild shape twice a day9th Level: Wild shape (tiny)11th Level: Wild shape three times a day13th Level: Wild shape (large)15th Level: Wild shape (diminutive)17th Level: Wild shape (huge)OK, here's the *twisted* part. You know how most bears are brown and most foxes are reddish and most parakeets are green or whatever? Well, when the Sorcerer assumes his Wild Shape, the animals are kind of, well, different.....What if you saw a black snake with pink polka-dots, or a huge purple grizzly bear? How about a lime-green falcon (eyes, beak, the works!), or an orange and fuschia-striped dog? Ever bear witness to a bright red (we're talking Ronald McDonald here) horse?! The above examples would be what results when the Sorcerer uses Wild Shape. Though he's got control over the *type* of animal he's changing into, the appearance is completely contrary to what a regular creature of the sort would look like. It's all randomly determined by the DM using a table that I'm just not ambitious enough to come up with.Why? Well, the rather poorly written book description of the Sorcerer keeps iterating the fact that Socerers are *different* and a bit chaotic and they always seem to stand out from eveyone else. What better way to stand out than a class power that can alter the Sorcerer into a magenta cat?It's got pros and cons, to be sure. Obviously, it's handy to change oneself into a winged creature when one needs to fly. On the other hand, everyone who sees the hawk with zebra colors automatically KNOWS it's either a psychedelic illusion or a Sorcerer in disguise. Hence, target practice, baby!FWIW, I agree with all the intial suggestions in this thread. I'll have to read the subsequent ones more in depth, though. Cool thread, Khaalis!</blockquote>
