So as not to disappoint, here's my view:

NWN1 Shifter was one of the most-abused PrCs in the game, open to dozens of tantalizing exploits, particularly when combined with certain other classes.

I've witnessed a Shifter nearly destroy an entire NWN1 PW.

No, thanks. Over my dead body.

Wow.

Well, this is ALFA, and NWN2, and it is impossible to exploit a PrC I was under the impression. We're a RP PW. PrCs are requested with prerequisites and after lengthy approval, very lengthy pre-RP, DM intervention, and specialized quest(s) before any levels are chosen ...I thought. If anyone wished to exploit it.... after the amount of time spent proving their salt in game and in the community to eventually ever even get close to being allowed to even take levels in the PrC...hell they'd deserve it. :)

I'm not asking to open a floodgate for dozens of players to become Shifters in a week, so we all can turn into Dragons, and quote: "Destroy PWs" (???)
That would absolutely. Never. Ever. Even possibly. Ever happen. And everyone knows that. I never even fathomed such a response.

The suggestion included just the ability to shift into some forms (lol).

The current Wild Shape ability allows for 5 forms. And at 12th level. ..... 5 Dire Forms.

Anyway it's all good. Thank you all for the feedback.




Curm...um.. how are you feeling lately? (lol) All healthy? *checks meds bottle* *nods* ...good good. cheers!
