Shifter

2022-05-15T13:19:41Z

162.158.203.38: /* Class Features */

[[File:Shifter_dryad.png|thumb|218px]]

The Shifter PrC was release mid-July, 2021.

== Description ==

The shifter has no form that she calls her own. Instead, she clothes herself in whatever shape is most expedient at the time. While others base their identities largely on their external forms, the shifter actually comes closer to her true self through all her transformations. Of necessity, her sense of self is based not on her outward form, but on her soul, which is truly the only constant about her. It is the inner strength of that soul that enables her to take on any shape and remain herself within.

At first, the shifter can risk only humanoid forms and familiar animal shapes. As she grows more comfortable with her own true shapelessness, however, she can assume more outlandish forms. Eventually, she knows herself so well that she feels just as comfortable in the shape of a completely different creature type as she does in her own. At that point, her past - even her race - becomes irrelevant, since external form no longer matters to her.

The shifter's path is ideal for a spellcaster of any race who has experienced shapeshifting and yearns for more of it. Such a character can be a great force for either good or ill in the world; an evil shifter in particular poses a terrible threat, for she can appear anywhere, in any form. The same opponents may face her again and again, in one shape after another, never realizing that they actually face a single, formless enemy.

== Requirements ==
Race: Any

Alignment: Any

Feats: Alertness, Toughness

Ability Score: at least a natural 13 or higher in primary casting ability score (without enhancement)

Spells: Able to cast 3th level spells as a druid (lvl 5), spirit shaman (lvl 6), wizard (lvl 5) or sorcerer (lvl 6) ('''only levels in base classes are accounted''' for and the character must have effects)

== Class Features ==
- Hit Die: d8

- Base Attack Bonus: High

- High Saves: Fortitiude, Reflex

- Weapon Proficiencies: A Shifter gains no weapon proficiencies.

- Armor Proficiencies: A Shifter gains no armor proficiencies.

- Skill Points: 4 + Int Modifier.

- Class Skills: Concentration, Diplomacy, Disguise, Heal, Hide, Lore Nature, Move Silently, Listen, Parry, Spot, Survival, Tumble

- Spells per Day/Spells Known: The Shifter does not progress spellcasting

- Special: If the character is a druid, Shifter levels progress [[Wild Shape]] uses per day. In addition to that, at Shifter level 15 character qualifies for [[Legendary Animal Shape]] and [[Epic Elemental Shape]]. Lastly, at level 20, he qualifies for [[Dragon Shape]]. Shifter levels stack with Druid levels to determine the power of Epic Wildshapes.

DISCLAIMER I:
Some bugs may still be present in this implementation. Please report and don't expect them to remain un-fixed, if they are beneficial.

DISCLAIMER II:
Underperforming shapes might be positively adjusted, should they really need it. However, not all shapes fullfil the same purpose/role, so don't expect them to be playable across the entire PvE! Shifters gotta be shifting.

DISCLAIMER III:
Sometime in the future, couple of models will get replaced by newer, prettier ones. In pixie's case, it's even a gender change.

DISCLAIMER IV:
Prettier, more detailed wiki-documentation will take time. If there is any volunteer to help with that, it would be very much appreciated. Thanks Steve!

DISCLAIMER V:
If you cannot find a small bar with shape's special abilities, look in the upper-left corner. Drag it to wherever you want it to be.

== Gameplay Notes ==
Only the highest save item (from any slot) counts in shape!

Ogre Mage - Extra damage or vamp. properties from any (not only from warmace) equipped melee weapon does transfer to shape. (Update:Material from weapon does not transfer to shape!)

Pixie and Dryad can equip any ranged weapon to improve their damage. (But not with unl. ammo properties) Ranged polymorph/shapechange forms benefit from equipped darts.

All other shapes can equip gloves to improve damage or add vamp. regeneration. (on hit from gloves seems not to transfer)

Natural Spell is available as a feat to Shifters (that means wizard/shifter may select it if he meets the requirement of 13 WIS). Natural Spell feat can also taken in place of a Shifter form at Level Up.

Divine Might /Epic Divine Might /Expose Weakness, Northlander Hewing damage is reduced by 50% in wildshape effects.

==Description==
This invocation allows you to conjure forth a field of soul-chilling black tentacles that ooze from the ground, groping for victims. For every round that a creature is caught in the [[area of effect]], it suffers attacks from 1d4 tentacles, each capable of doing 1d6+4 points [[damage type|bludgeoning damage]]. With each hit the target must also make a [[fortitude]] save or be paralyzed for one round. In addition, each creature within the area of the invocation takes 2d6 points of [[damage type|cold damage]] each round regardless of whether they are struck by any tentacles. The tentacles last for 6 seconds per [[caster level]].

==Gameplay notes==
The secondary effect of 2d6 cold damage is applied for each casting of Chilling Tentacles, and cannot be avoided except by resistance to cold damage. Will no longer stack with itself.

A good tactic to use Chilling Tentacles is by deploying multiple ones in an open area ahead of the player, then firing Eldritch Spear. This allows to lure a group of enemies from long range into a deadly field - which can be spread over the enemies' path - filled with Chilling Tentacles.
