Humanoid shape
From NWNWiki
Type of feat: class
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
[edit] 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.
- 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 character sheet displays a -2 penalty to constitution for all non-elves in the drow warrior and epic drow warrior shape. This has no impact on hit points, fortitude saves, or constitution modified skills, but is detected by the command GetAbilityScore(oObject, ABILITY_CONSTITUTION) for both modified score and base score.
[edit] Non-epic forms
The following table shows the character's new strength, dexterity, constitution and AC (before applying item bonuses).
