Greater wildshape IV

Type of feat: class (given based on class levels)
Prerequisite: shifter 10

Specifics: At tenth level, a shifter may shift into the form of a large dire tiger, medusa, or mindflayer three times per day.

Use: selected

Notes[]

Requires Hordes of the Underdark.
This form of shapeshifting cannot be dispelled.
At shifter level 16, unlimited uses of this ability are gained via infinite greater wildshape IV.
The mindflayer form has the unusual property of adding a bonus to the character's intelligence and wisdom—every other shifter shape (except the drow warrior's elven racial modifier for constitution) overrides any ability score it modifies. The intelligence and wisdom bonuses are subject to the ability cap.

The following table shows the character's adjusted abilities and AC (before applying item bonuses). Note that only the highest AC bonus from items will merge, and that off-hand weapon and bracer/gauntlet/glove properties never merge.

The medusa's petrification gaze is limited to one use per shift, plus one use for every five shifter levels. The mindflayer's mind blast ability is limited to one use per shift, plus one use for every three shifter levels. These limits are imposed via scripting and are not reported in the graphical user interface.
