The Big Ol' thread of cool things to do with a shifter.

I'd hate to burst everyone's bubble...

Greater Wild Shape refers to Wild Shape. Wild Shape refers to Polymorph Self. Polymorph self refers to Polymorph Other.

It says (on page 237 of the PH) "The subject does not gain the supernatural abilities (such as breath weapons or gaze attacks) or the extraordinary abilities of the new creature".

Tomb & Blood does an update on the spell, but doesn't change this part. Is there something about Wild Shape that I'm missing? Almost every single creature mentioned thus far would get NONE of the things mentioned... By all means, someone PLEASE correct me, but I don't think this PrC is as powerful as its being made out to be.

Pasted from the MotW Exerpt at WotC site:

"She does not gain any supernatural or spell-like abilities (such as breath weapons or gaze attacks) of her new form, but does gain all the form's extraordinaryabilities .

D'oh!

You know what's funny? Our group has never had a druid who's made it past.. oh... 3rd level or so. So I skipped that section... After I posted that, I went to see, JUST IN CASE, if there were any revisions about Wild Shape. Lo and behold...

Sorry about that.

Though the update doesn't go out of its way to say that you CAN'T use templates.

Also, you can't speak while in animal form, yet if you awaken an animal, it CAN speak. Anyone else notice that?

[edit]
Changed Planetar's/Solar's Regeneration to Fast healing.
Added Rust attack to rust monster.:eek:

In the latest MM errata, the Planetar's and Solar's Regeneration was changed to Fast Healing, though they can still reattach lost limbs.

Other than that, though, I'd say your work was... well... extraordinary! ;)

That was impressive

I particularly like the brand recognition and Thirst obeyance powers of the Sprite: Beverage. Very good for mercantile types. :D

Of course you did miss the Rust Monsters rusting effect.

Now, we have to do a last thing: specify the Shifter level you can get each shape (given by size, HD and type)
The HD actually is a problem, cause not everyone will get Shifter at 6th. Ideas?

I'll do it for my "exotic" books (MotP, MagOF and PsiHbk) in the next days.

Edited the list.

OOPS!

I can't believe I missed the Rust monster's special ability.....

I got the other changes in there as well.

As far as the Sprite(TM) is concerned, well that's what happens when you stare at a computer screen for hours until midnight compiling a list like this.:D

Later today I'll try to get the abilities from the Adventure Paths modules from WOTC, as well as RttToEE. If not today, then by tomorrow evening definitely.
