02-29-08, 09:32 PM not sure how this would work, starting in a new campaign and i asked my dm if i could do the savage progression with werewolf lord template.

1st question does the lycanthrope synergizes with the shifting

2nd question if i were to take the weretoched master would this synergize at all with the lycanthrope.

i plan on taking the warshaper with this clas but wanted to go into something that would increase the benefits from my lycanthrope

i geuss i do have another question, i believe you have to have a base class currect or could i take levels into this and then go straight into warshaper right after

Off of the top of my head, I recall that the Hulking Hurler prestige class specifically refers to non-classed giants as qualifying (certain type of giants, not all types).

03-01-08, 02:40 PM Shifting will synchronize with the hybrid form you gain from Weretouched Master, as that class is essentially progressing to a more lycanthropic state, however, once you cap that class, the stats you get from hybrid form are equivalent to those you would gain from a lycanthropy template, and, as usual commonly named abilities with the same effect (i.e. 'AC Bonus' or 'Defensive Stance' or etc.) do not stack.

Hence, the hybrid form you get from lycanthropy stacks with shifting, and the hybrid status you get from Weretouched Master stacks with shifting, however, they do NOT stack with one another

Warshaper's bonuses would work anytime you're in hybrid form, i.e. anytime you're shifting, but in no other case, as the class states in the beginning of the description.

Also, no, you don't necessarily need a base class to get into a prestige. Warshaper can conceivably be achieved by something with only racial HD that grant it the BAB requirement, any skill requirement, and any special requirement.

In your case, I would advise against taking the lycanthropy all together and stick to just being a shifter with levels in Weretouched Master. You'd get plenty more levels to mess around with, your stats would go laregely unchanged, and you could get into Warshaper much much faster.
