[QUOTE="schneeland, post: 9208162, member: 6900337"] My starting point for shapeshifters would be the shapeshifting skill tree of Diablo (2) Druids. Now that would make the number of possible forms rather limited (Wolf and Bear only), but a) I do like that the shifted forms gain power over time and b) I wouldn't be generally against allowing more forms. I tend to say the available forms should be tied to a specific theme (so Druids of the tundra would have different options than Druids of the woods or the desert) and maybe there should still be a choice element (selection could extend with character progression). Their might be room for a bit of auxiliary spell-casting, but rather than spread that out too much, I would like to see the focus of the class/archetype on the shape-shifting itself. And thematically, it would be nice if the Druids supernatural abilities to be tied to certain forms (e.g. let them improve their vision if one of their forms is Hawk, or their scent if one is Wolf).
