If a the duration of a shifter's change is based on CON, and a Beasthide shifter's attribute bonus is CON, does the increase in CON allow the shifter to remain changed for one more round?

EG A Beasthide shifter's CON is 15, this allows him to remain shifted for 3 + 2 rounds. However, since his CON increases when he is shifted, it is now 17, thus possibly allowing for him to remain shifted for 6 rounds.

Is my reasoning flawed?

If we compare it to a barbarians rage which follows the same rules we see.

A fit of rage lasts for a number of rounds equal to 3 + the character’s (newly improved) Constitution modifier.

So no your reasoning is not flawed, it is as far as a read it perfect.

Thus a Shifter barbarian who rage and shift at the same time (both are free actions) may shift-rage a whole 3 rounds longer, and gain +3hp/level during the shift-rage.

Hope it answered your question.

Thanks for the information. The Beasthide barbarian seems like a pretty awesome combination.

All of the shifter/barbarian combos are effective, a shifter's shifting ability either enhances a barbarian's abilities' when raging or else offsets their weaknesses. It's a match made in heaven ...

Then why is thier no more shifter rage feats out there and no really good sub lvl's for them. All the ones I see are not that good; unless you go into the archives and look for the barbaian based shifter PRC's
