Description | |
By default, only the druid class qualifies for the Bioware version of the shifter prestige class. However, the PnP version of the shifter allows any class capable of assuming an alternate form to become a shifter- including individuals capable of casting the spell, Polymorph Self. This hak is an attempt to bring the Bioware shifter a little bit closer to the PnP version, at least in terms of which characters are permitted to enter the class. The list of changes include the following: - Clerics (provided they have chosen the Animal domain as one of their two domains), rangers, sorcerers and wizards are now eligible to enter the shifter class. This is accomplished via a new class feat, Alternate Form (one each for the cleric, ranger, sorcerer and wizard classes). This feat is automatically acquired by a character upon level-up, once he is of a sufficiently high level to have access to the Polymorph Self spell. Rangers, sorcerers and wizards with this feat are eligible to enter the shifter class, provided they otherwise meet its requirements (which remain unchanged: Alertness feat and able to cast 3rd level spells). Clerics who receive this feat and otherwise meet shifter requirements can also enter the shifter class, provided they have chosen the Animal domain as one of their two cleric domains. - Version 1.11 ONLY: The Wisdom requirement for the Outsider Shape, Construct Shape and Dragon Shape feats (25, 27 and 30, respectively) has been changed to a Lore skill requirement (27, 30 and 35 ranks, respectively). - Version 2.0 ONLY: The Lore requirement for shapes has been removed; the three more powerful feats now require the previous feat as a prerequisite (i. e., Shifter Dragon Shape requires Construct SHape, which requires Outsider Shape, which requires Undead Shape). - Version 2.0 ONLY: There are now two Dragon Shape feats with different prerequisites: Shifter Dragon Shape (Epic Shifter, Construct Shape) and (Druid) Dragon Shape (Epic Druid, 30 WIS, Wildshape 6x/day). - By default, the Dragon Shapes' breath weapon now includes levels in cleric (Animal domain required), ranger, sorcerer and wizard- as well as druid and shifter- for the purpose of calculating its power. - The list of bonus feats available to the epic shifter has been changed around. Most notably, Great Wisdom has been removed from their list, while the following epic feats have been added: Blinding Speed Damage Reduction Epic Fortitude Epic Reflexes Epic Spellcasting (all epic spells)* Epic Toughness Epic Will Great Constitution* Perfect Health Superior Initiative *New to version 1.11 A readme file included in the package provides complete instructions for use, a summary of the changes to the game, and some of the consequences of its use (including some suggested third classes for each type of shifter). Version 1.0: Original version. Version 1.001: Changes to readme: Minor typos corrected, revisions made (yes, I'm that anal...). Version 1.1: Updated for NWN 1.69. Version 1.11: Added Epic Spellcasting (all epic spells) and Great Constitution to shifter bonus feat list. |
