well, now that I have learned a bit about how the shifter system works through another player... Ive come to the conclusion that this is the ultimate in shapeshifting scripting.

therefore I propose wildshape be tossed aside and replaced with the shifter script minus a few things

obviously, druids would still be limited to certain shapes, just as they are now. but it would mean a smoother, easier to use (with a small learning curve) and less buggy interface for shapeshifting.
