'''Prowess:''' 4 per level.
-
'''Proficiencies:'''  Shifters are proficient with all simple weapons and natural weapons.  Shifters are proficient with light armor and shields (but not tower shields).
 
-
'''Shifting (Su):''' Shifters begin play with three shapes known (see Shifter Forms below) and with the ability to activate one shape at a time. A shifter learns more shapes and may have additional shapes active according to the table above (Shifter Progression).  A character may shift to activate or deactivate any number of forms at once, this is a move action that provokes attacks of opportunity.
+
'''Basic Shifting (Su): '''Shifters begin play knowing all Shifter Shapes (listed below), but may only activate those listed under Basic Shapes. Additionally, the shifter may only activate three shapes at a time. A character may shift to activate, deactivate, or swap any number of shapes at once, this is a move action that provokes attacks of opportunity.
-
::A shifted character takes on the qualities of an animal, as described by the player.  These descriptions must match the mechanical effects (i.e., a shape with claws should be described as having claws).  Shifted characters remain the same size they were before shifting, unless otherwise noted.  While shifted, a shifter's equipment melds into her new form.  She gains any bonuses from worn equipment, but none from any weapons.  Likewise, she may not activate any of her equipment while in a shifted form (including animated shields).
+
-
::Having three or more active shapes from a single form enables provides a bonus as described under each form's heading; having five or more active shapes from a single form provides an even greater bonus.
+
-
'''Bonus Feat:'''  The shifter may select any of the following feats as a shifter bonus feat, provided that she already qualifies: 
+
A shifted character takes on the qualities of a shape as described in the shapes she activates. The player may describe the aesthetics of these changes as she wishes, provided it makes sense with the shapes active, i.e. activating a claw shape should describe the character as now having some form of claws. A shape may only be shaped once at a time, for example a character could not shape Thick Skin twice to gain a +4 natural armor bonus to AC. While these shapes are active, the character may continue to use any equipment as normal, unless the new shape states otherwise.
-
'''Enhanced Senses (Ex):'''  Upon reaching level 2 a shifter gains a +3 bonus to her Awareness Skill Set.  At level 7 this bonus increases to +5.  At level 12 a shifter may always take 10 with her Awareness Skill Set skills, even while threatened or distracted.  At level 17 a shifter may always take 20 with her Awareness Skill set skills, even while threatened or distracted without taking the additional time implied by taking 20.
 
-
'''Improved Shifting (Su):''' A shifter who reaches level 5 may shift as a swift action and no longer provokes attacks of opportunity when shifting.  Additionally, the shifter may communicate with animals of any of the forms from which she currently has shapes active.
+
'''Bonus Feat: '''At level 1, 5, and every 5 levels thereafter, a shifter may select any of the following feats as a shifter bonus feat, provided she already qualifies for that feat: Track.
-
'''Wild Mobility (Su):'''  Beginning at level 6 a shifter may select one of her Mobility based shapes (annotated below) and may always activate it without having it count against her maximum number of active shapes.  Upon reaching level 12 the shifter may select two of her Mobility based shapes to activate without it counting against her maximum number of active shapes.  An 18th level shifter may select three of her Mobility based shapes to activate without it counting against her maximum number of active shapes.  Active shapes from Wild Mobility may not be counted toward bonuses provided by various forms.
 
-
'''Wild Talent (Ex):''' Beginning at level 8, a shifter may exchange one of her shifter bonus feats for another shifter bonus feat for which she qualifies. At level 14 she may exchange as many of her shifter bonus feats for an equal number of other shifter bonus feats as she wants. Upon reaching level 20, the shifter may exchange one of her shifter bonus feats for any other feat for which she qualifies. A shifter may only change her feats once per day when she finishes her normal rest cycle.
+
'''Enhanced Senses (Ex): '''Beginning at level 2, a shifter gains a +3 bonus to her Awareness skill set. At level 6, the shifter gains the Scent special ability. At level 10, a shifter gains +6 to her Awareness skill set and may use any of her Awareness skills as a free action. At level 14, a shifter may always take 10 with her Awareness skill set skills, even while threatened or distracted. At level 18, a shifter may always take 20 with her Awareness skill set skills, even while threatened or distracted.
-
'''Improved Form (Su):'''  Beginning at level 10, a shifter with at least four active shapes (not including any provided by Wild Mobility) gains the benefits of the Light Fortification Armor Enhancement.  Additionally, spells that affect creatures with the Animal type may now affect Shifters, even while not using any shapes.
 
-
'''Advanced Shifting (Su):''' Starting at level 15, a shifter with at least six active shapes (not including any provided by Wild Mobility) gains a +10-ft movement speed bonus. Additionally, the shifter may gain resistance 15 to one energy effect of her choice.
+
'''Basic Alternate Form (Su):''' Starting at level 3, a shifter may morph into a whole new form. Shifters know every alternate form available to them, but they may only shift into those listed as Basic Alternate Forms below. Changing alternate forms is a move action that provokes attacks of opportunity. Only one form may be active at a time. Certain shapes are unavailable while in certain forms, as annotated in the shifter form descriptions. While in an alternate form, a shifter's equipment blends into her form, she gains any passive bonuses from any equipment she may have, but cannot activate any of that equipment. She also may not use any equipment she attempts to pick up while in an alternate form. A shifter may still communicate with other party members while in an alternate form, though that communication need not be in words.
-
'''Shifting Mastery (Ex):'''  At level 20, a shifter with at least eight active shapes (not including any provided by Wild Mobility) gains the benefits of the Heavy Fortification Armor Enhancement.  Additionally she may change her forms as an immediate action that does not provoke attacks of opportunity.  A shifter may now also remain shifted while in an antimagic field.  Finally, she may take an additional free 5-ft step on her turn during combat.
 
-
== Shifter Forms & Shapes ==
+
'''Synergy (Ex):''' Upon reaching level 4, a shifter gains the benefit of synergy with her alternate forms. The shifter gains the bonuses in the synergy line of the shape descriptions, but only when in the listed shifter forms.
-
Shifters may assume the forms and shapes of various creatures.  These forms are suited to various roles and each provides different abilities.  A character may have different shapes from different forms active (see Shaper description above).  All forms have a bonus based on the number of active shapes from that form.  Some shapes scale with level, as described in their benefit column.  Unless otherwise noted, all shapes and forms are Supernatural abilities.
