#1 SIKBUZ Jun 17, 2008 22:01:07	I'm looking at using a powerful shapechanger at level 9 in a new FR campaign.. Can anybody help me with an extremely powerful build for this? Items etc are open but would prefer these only to augment what the character can do (and have to be within reason)..

Get Alertness and Endurance at character creation to start out Master of Many Forms 7/ War Shaper 1 with Power Attack and Leap Attack. Get a Monk's Belt for Wis bonus to AC and unarmed strikes. Final build should go Master of Many Forms 10/ War Shaper 4/ Monk 1/ Tattooed Monk with Crane, Ocean, and White Mask. Take Combat Reflexes, Frozen Wild Shape, and Robilar's Gambit and use a 12-headed Cryohydra form to get a 12-bite AoO every time you're attacked. Use your free-action at-will racial wild shape ability to heal whenever you need to, even during combat.

The above reads: wildshape into any aberration of your HD or less, and get one supernatural ability. Did you know that all the eye-stalks on a beholder are one supernatural ability? Or that a choker's extra standard action per round is a su ability (that's 2 spells a round, my dear)? Or that the Intellect devourer can eat someone's brain as a su ability? Actually, there's an anecdote. I once played a druid with aberrant wildshape. There was a fire giant that was the leader of some big underground army we needed to get past. Intellect Devourer = I am now that giant. No disguise that can be 'seen-through', you literally are that guy. You wear him as a suit. Neat. Now, with your massive bluff bonus from a) wearing his skin and b) having basic information about his personality, how many people do you think will fail their sense motive check? Fun fun.
#8 SIKBUZ Jun 19, 2008 18:42:58	Interesting.. How does a druid get aberrant wildshape with assume supernatural ability? What book is this in? Thanks for all your suggestions!!
#9 natenate Jun 19, 2008 19:18:27	How does a druid get aberrant wildshape with assume supernatural ability? What book is this in? They're both feats, in Lords of Madness and Savage Species. You can just swap them into my build in place of Power Attack and Leap Attack.
#10 SIKBUZ Jun 22, 2008 23:14:41	Thanks!! Can you only assume one ability per form change or can you choose which one is operating at a time? Can you choose this feat more than once to have more than one acting at a time? Never mind - you can take this feat more than once..
