[QUOTE="Piratecat, post: 1810914, member: 2"] You'll probably want to specify "ability to cast arcane spells." Having to chuck the spellcasting from that level is painful; at least they get to keep the familiar. Are spells in that class still considered to be on their spell list for the purpose of spell completion items like wands? A few comments: Be aware that both "planeshifter" and "shifter" are names used by other classes or races in WotC books. You may have some confusion at first. :) [i]> If the shifter were to land in a space behind the line of sight of their opponent, they gain a free sneak attack opportunity. [/i]What is line of sight? Are you saying that if the shifter disappears and reappears somewhere that a foe can't see him, then he's considered to have successfully hid... or are you saying that all foes are considered flatfooted to a shifter after he shifts? There's no facing in 3.5, so this is important. In addition, with no line of sight then there's no way for the shifter to make any attack, never mind a sneak attack. [i]> However, if they arrive in an adjacent space of the enemy or within their enemy reach and vision, they provoke an attack of opportunity. [/i]By this it seems like all enemies are NOT flatfooted. That suggests that a shifter who pops in might be considered hidden, which seems okay. Just being able to see an arriving shifter shouldn't provoke an AoO, although I see nothing wrong with saying that reappearing in someone's area of control should do so. [i]> This action of teleportation is considered a move action. Those who are touching the shifter as he teleports are teleported as well.[/i] You may want to limit this to one person per shifter level, and unwilling people get a saving throw as per teleport. Note that [i]Flurry of shifts[/i] is much more powerful than flurry of arrows because of the sneak attack damage. Also note that by the rules you've already established, the shifter would draw an AoO from every single person that he pops in next to to do this. [/QUOTE]
