#1 visivicous Oct 13, 2010 5:11:46	(I am re-posting this here from here.) A player in my campaign wants to play a shapshifter class. After reviewing the Druid he said that he wants something that is totally focused on shapchanging, so I have decided to home-brew a class for him. I was wondering if there was a blank class template, with blank powers, background, class features, etc., that I could use to organize this custom class. Something that I could fill out, then print, and have it look ok style wise. I don't want to just type everything in a word processor and separate things with line breaks or whatever, I want it to look nice. I was also hoping that there might exist rules for creating a class, in hopes that I could keep the class balanced. Books that I own: Players Handbook 1, 2, & 3 Martial Power Arcane Power Divine Power Monster Manual Dungeon Master's Guide Adventurer's Vault Manual of the Planes Dungeon Delve Forgotten Realms Campaign Guide Forgotten Realms Player's Guide Eberron Player's Guide I also ordered, but have not received yet, the Dark Sun Campaign Guide, Dark Sun Creature Catalog, Heroes of the Fallen Lands, and Rules Compendium. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

The first definately sounds like a new class, but you can probably base it very heavily on existing classes. The second is what the Druid does. Thought if the PC doesn't want to play a controller it might work better as a race - search the forum for any of the Werewolf homebrews, there should be enough ideas to work on. The third can be a race or class choice depending on what the powers are actually used for. As for making it look nice, I'd strongly suggest just using Word (or whatever), maybe with a lightly colored background for the crunchy parts. Sure it won't look as pretty, but from my own experience the most important thing is making it easy to read. And unless you're a professional layout worker the best way to do that is to keep it simple and clean!
