Type of feat: class (given based on class levels)
Prerequisite: shifter 7
Specifics: At seventh level, a shifter may shift into various humanoid forms. A shifter may do this three times per day.
Use: selected
Notes[]
- Requires Hordes of the Underdark.
- The forms are drow warrior, kobold commando, and lizardman. These are replaced by stronger epic versions at shifter level 17.
- At shifter level 13, unlimited uses of this ability are gained via infinite humanoid shape.
- This form of shapeshifting cannot be dispelled.
- Only the highest AC bonus from items will merge.
- Off-hand weapon properties never merge, nor do properties from bracers/gauntlets/gloves.
- The kobold commando has a bonus to setting traps, but trap kits (like most other items) cannot be used while shifted. Similarly, the form has a use poison bonus feat, but a shifted PC will be unable to use a poison item to apply poison to a weapon.
- The kobold commando shape provides the sneak attack ability. This will not stack with a character's sneak attack from rogue levels, but it will stack with a blackguard's sneak attack or an assassin's death attack.
- The drow warrior shape changes a shifter's race to elf for the duration of the shift, which can cause a multiclass penalty for a shifter with a second base class (in addition to the necessary druid), even if no such penalty exists for the shifter's original race.
- The constitution score while in (epic) drow warrior form reflects the -2 penalty of the elven race and discounts the bonus/penalty of a shifter's normal race. However, this change is cosmetic only (appearing only on the character sheet) and does not affect the stats based upon constitution (hit points, fortitude save, and concentration) unless the constitution score is in any way subsequently changed. Such subsequent changes to the constitution score include those resulting from item merge, later potion buffs, and spell expiration.
