Greater Wildshape IV
Type of Feat: Class
Prerequisite: Shifter 10
Required for: None
Specifics: The character may shift into the creature forms (Large Dire Tiger, Medusa, Mindflayer) 3x/day. The shapes are replaced by stronger Epic versions at level 20.
Use: Selected
This form of shapeshifting cannot be dispelled.
Bonuses from weapons, armor, shield, helmet, boots, cloak and jewelry merge into all three shapes. Base (non-magical) AC from shields merge but not from armor. Bracer/gauntlet/glove properties merge except for attack bonuses and bonus damage. Off-hand weapon and ranged weapon properties never merge. Unlike in the original campaign, all AC bonuses merge, not just the highest.
Normal Forms receive :
Cleave Weapon Finesse +16 Discipline
Epic Forms receive :
Cleave Weapon Finesse +20 Discipline
Weapon focus feats now work with all forms that use weapons. Feats must be taken for the weapon the specific form wields to apply.
