[QUOTE="EOL, post: 104704, member: 823"] I'm about to start playing a Druid ---> Shifter in a campaign which is starting. We're starting at 4th level so it won't be long before I get into the prestige class. In allowing me to take the shifter the DM is making me think of all the ways this PrC could be abused and helping him plug the holes. So far I've come up with the following and I'm looking for feedback on anything I might have missed: 1- Changing into a large creature in a cramped room and squishing everybody against the walls. 2- Turning from a sparrow into and Iron Golem and crushing my opponents by falling on them. 3- Getting swallowed (by a monster with the swallow whole ability or similar) changing shape and killing them from the inside. 4- Unlimitied Healing with Evershifting Form. 5- Changing from one shape directly into the next without assuming the base form. 6- Melding equipment into a form to avoid encumbrance penalties. 7- Item slots on Air elementals and such. I'm not looking for ideas on how to handle these. We already have it pretty much figured out. Thanks in large part to these boards, What I am looking for is anything I might have missed. Any possible silly thing someone with unlimited shapeshifting could do. Doesn't even have to be abusive necessarily just something that would cause the game to grind to a halt as the DM scratchs his head and says how the freak do I rule on that!? [/QUOTE]
