03-10-07, 09:06 PM Hey, I'm looking for feats that would improve the wildshape ability of a Druid/Master of many forms character. Mostly, I am looking for feats that allow you to assume more abilties of the chosen form, be they Supernatual or spell-like. Thank you in advance for help.

P.S. No campaign specific material please, as I do not own any Forgotten Realms or Eberron books, and do not particularly want to.

03-11-07, 07:05 PM you are looking for "assume supernatural ability" (Savage Species).

DON'T USE IT!!! It will break your game! Don't say that I didn't warn you.

03-12-07, 01:32 AM Also possible is Exalted Wildshape (which can depend on your DM's reading of the vague text).

You could also talk to your DM about getting a caster level based version of the normally manifester based feat Metamorphic Transfer (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/psionic/psionicFeats.htm#metamorphicTransfer), as written there is no reason why it would be unbalanced to allow a Magic user to use it instead of a Psionicist. This feat is both more adaptable and more limited then Assume Supernatural Ability, so your Dm might prefer it.

03-12-07, 09:41 AM by far the best wild shape feat is, as stated above, Exalted Wild Shape! and the other feat you MUST have is Natural Spell, allowing spellcasting in your wild shape.

in the DMG2 for 20k, Vestments of Verminshape. you can take the form of ANY vermin of the appropriate size :-D

Primeval Wild Shape from Frostburn, reduces the duration, but increases the form's Str and Con by 2.... or some such.

Frozen Wild Shape from Frostburn, allows you to take the shape of a magical beast? with the cold subtype.

Corrupted Wild Shape from Libris Mortis, allows an undead shape.

Dragon Wild Shape from the Draconomicon, allows a dragon shape.

the Eberron Campaign Setting has a couple wild shape feats.

03-12-07, 09:51 AM Thank you for you help. I am planning on taking care of the different forms by going into the Master of Many Forms (or whatever it is) PrC from Complete Adventurer. As for this Exalted Wildshape, what exactly does it do and where is it located (although I think I can guess the sourcebook, I just want to be sure)

03-12-07, 10:40 AM It's the Book of Exalted Deeds and it allows to change into some magical beasts and the celestial forms of the animals while getting extraordinary and supernatural abilities.

However it is an Exalted Feat and this has some serious roleplaying issues to use it.

*nods* the fact that you gain the ex and su abilities, makes it the most powerful wild feat ever!!!! and depending on how your dm uses it.... you can choose from even more magical beast than is listed.
