Shifter Class - Full BETA Version
🕑 Added 2024-12-05 19:52:14 +0000 UTCHey all!
I am extremely excited (and a bit nervous) to bring you the full play-test version of what has grown to be one of my favorite homebrew creations - The Shifter Class!
What begun as a thought; "What if there was a full class built around Wild Shape?", has evolved into a complete New Class and a Compendium of 115 Reworked Beasts.
Finally, after months of development and troubleshooting, I finally have a full version of the Shifter class to share with you all. Levels 1 - 20 and four Bloodlines (subclasses).
As this is a play-test version, I'm very interested to hear what you all think of the class, the subclasses, and how my new Beasts interact with the class. Let me know your thoughts here in the comments, or over in the Shifter channel on Discord.
For ease of reading, I've included PDFs of both the Shifter Class and the Compendium of Beasts below (and posted them in the Patron Google Drive).

Good catch - a few other have pointed this out to me. I'll most likely keep Primal Resilience the same for the base class and come up with something new for Reptiles.

Even if no one in your setting is bothered by strange-looking beast-men walking around their city, being able to look like a "normal" person sometimes could be useful if you don't want to stand out or don't want to be recognized.

A couple of the subclasses have abilities that partially overlap with base class features. For example, should Reptiles perhaps get something extra from Primal Resilience at level 10, since they're already resistant to poison damage and immune to the poisoned condition from Primal Venom? The resistance from Primeval Form also seems less useful for Brutes who already have something better. (I dunno, for all I know maybe the balance is fine as-is. But it *feels* bad for a new ability to be redundant and not get anything for it.)

Is there no limit to the number of times a shifter can shift into their Feral Form or Beast Shape? Is there no penalty for being in Feral Form? If so, why shouldn't a Shifter always stay in their Feral Form?

Feral Form, Natural Armor “You grows(no s needed) coarse hair, thickened skin or hard scales.”. Minor spelling error so far but this looks hype! What a great idea. (Also if you ever need a volunteer to spellcheck or skim over content before release I would be more than willing, your stuff is an absolute blast to read through)
