Greetings all
I recently started d&d'ing again after a couple of years absense and can't say I know all the classes or prestige classes out there, so I could use some advice here.

I play a Doppelganger character (humanoid 4/warshaper 1) and my current template looks like this (humanoid 4/warshaper 4(cw)/mindspy 5(cw)/????).
I don't know if this is good, but I love playing the doppelganger in the social parts of playing, and I can hold my own so far in combat.

As for the advices needed, I love versatility and therefore I'm leaning towards the chameleon(races of destiny), but I also want him to be at least semi-powerful. Well let me hear what ppl think, and don't be too harsh, noob here :-)

I think, perhaps, your DM did you a disservice in allowing you to play such an exotic race before you got a handle on the basics.

Templates are modifications to a race, not things you train up. "Half dragon" is a template, warshaper and mindspy are not.

Also, are you aware your effective character level (ECL) is currently 17, not 13?

Get the Quasi-Diety Template , it's only an ECl of 6, it gives you a Divine Rank of 0.

I guess you should try the changeling race in the eberron setting, it goes well with the classess and prestige classes your aiming for. Start with a low LA race first and build your character from the ground up.
