I was just thinking that shifter forms should get the special abilities of that are innate to the creature. Feats I understand because that is learned and so is spells but I would think the innate abilities should be available even if set to only one use per that shift. So this would include spider forms that shoot webs, duergar form getting invisibility, and so and so forth. Just a suggestion.

Some of the forms are already amazing. Mechanically, do they really need a boost?

Honestly, I don't think it would hurt. Some of the forms are really good but the innate abilities would help in fitting the ability to blend with any race, for example if you are amongst Duergar and for some reason the situation calls for you all to turn invisible, it would be quite fishy that you are the only one that cannot. I think it would really aid in giving the Shifter class that true 'Awe' effect.

That particular example effectively gives the player x/day invis ability, where x is the number of times you can shift into that form. That would unbalance the server.

I understand your point, but honestly I don't see the DM's agreeing to implement it.

I suppose your right, though the number of shifts doesnt really give the person too much of an unfair advantage. But I suppose I see the worry in it.

+4 STR and +2 CON is a pretty darn good innate ability as it is. Froms do have some changes.
