Shapeshifter changeling
« on: May 22, 2010, 04:51:05 PM »

What's the best way to combine master of many forms, master transmorgrifist, warshaper, and shapeshifter? points if changeling is used as the race.  I'll be working on it too, but I wanted to see if anyone had any ideas.

I recommend nature's warrior or fist of the forest. Also, shapeshifter is kinda pointless in this build.

I probably should have explained that I wanted to combine the major types of shapechanging into one build.  Polymorph, wildshape, etc.

Planar Shephard much? Use tricks to get the Transformation Domain, and you have all you need to break the game twice over...

Use the UA Druid with a Domain to get the Domain for free, and you end up as a full-casting, full-wildshape++++ druid who can cast Polymorph and Shapechange if he really want to. Oh, and can Wildshape into an Outsider with all the abilities.

Which Druid is this? That would be a REALLY useful variant!

Here: http://www.systemreferencedocuments.org/resources/systems/pennpaper/dnd35/soveliorsage/unearthedClasses.html#druid-domains

It's from a list, but there's nothing saying you can't take Transformation or Incarnum instead. Not to mention the Substitute Domain spell...

Also, for the OP:

Cloistered Cleric 5/Dweomerkeeper 4/Shapeshifter 1/Planar Shepherd 10

19/20 casting, Wild Shape as a 30th level Druid, Supernatural Spell 1/day, and the usual Cleric goodies. Take the Transformation domain so that you can grab Polymorph et al.

Or, for more cheese (lots more cheese):

Wizard 5/Incantatrix 3/Shapeshifter 1/Planar Shepherd 10/X 1

Use Alternate Spell Source to get PS casting added to Wizard. Use Metamagic Effect to persist any spell-like abilities (or supernatural abilities!) you happen to like from your forms.

For extra super-duper cheese, pick some plane that has every creature imaginable as its native inhabitant (The Realm of Dreams would qualify for this, and would also have a nice time trait to abuse).

That is an awesome find, cheers mate! Also, Sun Domain gives you Turn Undead under that house rule, so we can have DMM Druids without resorting to Sacred Exorcist.
