    [​IMG] Can anyone can help me to understand that class,

    do the thaco of the shapeshifter when in normal form has an effect on the werewolf thaco?

    Indeed!
    I believe you hav been reading my posts. I hope so because no one else seems to!
    Anyway i have become quite an expert on this most humble of classes so let me explain to you everything.

    The shapeshifter is a Druid. So they only get Druid spells obviously (this may sound patrionising but we have to start somewhere).
    But for some reason the Shapeshifter seems o get extra spell slots. These are not described anywhere in any manual but i assure you that they exist. The only way i realised was when i went to my profile page and scrolled down to find a bonus spells list as follows:

    first level:2
    second level:2
    third level:1
    fourth level:1

    This is also on Cernd's profile but not on Jaheira's. (therefore logical to cpnclude that this is exclusive to shapeshifters)

    Next is the werewolf bit. I seem to find mself spending most of my time in this form when fighting. A single transformation will last for an unlimited amount of time. But you gain a number of them so that you can flip between the two forms nearly whenever you choose.
    When you shift into werewolf form you get 19 strength 17 dexterity and a AC7 bonus. This means that if you had a bonus of say 6 in human form you would have -1 in werewolf form. Adding bracers and sheilds WILL add to the armor class while in werewolf form.
    The shapeshifter however, can not where armor at any time what ever form.
    Your thaco is reduced by three from whatever it started at before transformation.

    A level 13 you get to shift into a greater werewolf once a day....but i won't spoil that bit for you. Its just too damn good!

    I hope this helped!

    [​IMG] Bonus spells you mention are probably from 18 wisdom.
