[QUOTE="Corinnguard, post: 9764912, member: 7033886"] Laser Llama and PF1 (Paizo and Legendary Games) both have the Shifter class, a more martial wildshaping class. Laser Llama's take on the Shifter class just allows the character to assume an avian, a brute, a carnivore or a reptile with their Bloodline feature. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.gmbinder.com/share/-NGPF3Q0JXpV3aCTGJCN[/URL] PF1's take on the Shifter class allows you to take on the minor and major aspects of a particular animal. Ex. [HEADING=3]Bear[/HEADING] The aspect of the bear invokes a juggernaut of tireless endurance and furious power. Those who take this aspect are known for surviving severe wounds and delivering punishing blows in return.

There are Shifter archetypes in PF1 that do allow the player to assume forms other than those with the Beast Type: Dragonblood Shifter- Dragons Feyform Shifter- Fey Holy Beast- Celestial Swarm Shifter- Vermin Elementalist Shifter- Elemental Fiendflesh Shifter- Fiends Oozemorph- Oozes Verdant Shifter- Plant There is a PF1 Shifter archetype called the Weretouched that is sort of like the Blood Hunter (Order of the Lycan).
