Shifters/semi class/prestige class idea

expand the shifters *form* library ....maybe make a widget that wouuld allow them to target a specific mobs corpse or what not and they could then shift into that form for a certain amount of time(or indefinetly till logout or server reset)

Maybe could call it something like *Doppleganger blooded* or something.

Nice ... can see the potential!

Nice idea, I have always found the shifter class a bit bleh because of its limited forms it has in the default nwn game.
The idea sounds familiar to what the PRC team did to the shifter class and a couple spells (such as alter self, disguise self, etc).

maybe he could go thru the hat of disguise scripts for the forms...just limit them to humanoid ones inthe list.

I think there are several systems for this on the vault, I played on a PW that had a system that allowed you to target almost any creature and learn it's form. Looked like it could be fun, especially combined with the NWNX names module to hide your screen name (yes I know doesn't use NWNX)

I've looked at a couple shifter systems on the vault. One I remember seemed very nice for the oodles of shapes possible, but was still a bit bleh due to the shapes "powers" being token-activated, and had really crappy caster-levels on those powers.

The HoD type shifting... that would be nice for the appearance changes, but it doesn't tweak any physical stats like polymorphing... might as well just use a HoD for that.

If it could be done as a polymorph though, that would make it a bit more useful.
