[QUOTE="Zerith, post: 5757013, member: 99953"] Hmm, well, if you just wanted a prestige class that works around being a master shape shifter; we could look at the shape shifting variant of the druid for 3.5E and play around with it. It starts out with a basic combat form, and then gets an aerial form, and then it gets another combative form that makes it one size category larger. This is the things it gets bye level 8. Given that all this was replacing was wild shape and animal companion, should be simple enough to condense, and modify, the shape shifting progression to make it into a prestige class. I may try my hand at writing something up for it latter :3 As for the Character, I’m been toying with the idea of him being reincarnated* numerous times since times of legends; thus allowing him to be a throwback, a sort of link between the modern Nai-nek-chai and their Nai-Hempashu ancestors. As such, to me any ways, it would be no stretch to believe he could readily assume alternate forms while his (his words) “…lesser kin…” cannot. At the point he joins into the RP (if he is allowed) he would still be growing into his power and he will likely be doing so throughout the RP provided there are class options that work along the necessary them. [*He has not been a major player of any note: the biggest thing he would have been a part of that is still know off, if barely would be a few, obscure folk lore stories (he likely would have, at some sort, acted as an area’s guardian spirit but that would be long forgotten by now). Also, he would not have perfect recall over his past lives, their more of something he is aware of then something he gleams into for knowledge, besides, that much memory flooding into him all at once would make him go mad] It should be easy to have him fill the role as the link between the Nai-Hempashu and the Nai-nek-chai though, since he has a bloodline, I can give him the strong bloodline feature/template(and I will :D) that adds the spirit type to him and +2 to one stat. As for having a tinny animal form as a trait, it’s your right to say no, it’s just an idea I had for flavor, oh well. :3 [Due to the nature of being reincarnated, and not simply living continually, he could be Shakou’s sibling concept wise, and yeah, he would likely avoid anyone bossing him around unless he had a cause to stay; not acualy that hard to do IC >:D Also, do Nai-nek-chai have basically random animal forms?
