Baldur's Gate : The Sword Coast Chronicles : NWN2 Persistent World

Do the new armor optimization feats apply to shifted forms? Does one-handed feat work? Since dodge armor does not merge, does the dodge feat still work?

Since gloves bonuses merge into the creature weapon, do general bonuses on the weapon, like saving throws or ability enchancements on the weapon slot merge?

Well, not related to shifter, but, from my knowledge:
1) Armor optimisation doesn't work for poly in general since polyd creatures simply don't have armor equipped.
2) Dunno about one-handed.
3) Dodge feat works while shapeshifted.
4) If it's unarmed shape (no sword etc), no weapon bonus is transferred, only gloves do (and only for wildshape).

The One Weapon feat works for shapes that actually use/hold a weapon, for Warlocks using Word of Changing. I don’t think any Shifter forms have weapons, thus it will not work.

+ 4 (Greater Heroism)
+ 5 (Tenser's Transformation once the change goes in)
+ 10 (30 Strength with Bull's Strength)
= 44 (Too lazy to go over the spell book, so probably few points higher still)

Tenser's doesn't work in shapechange/polymorph, as stated by the post that announced the change. The only other increase in AB besides Greater Heroism is Haste for another +1 (For a total of 40 AB).

Ah yes, well, give it two to four years and it might.

20 level prc for the ability to Polymorph into other things…., i wouldn’t get my hopes up that much.

Matelener did mention longbow for dryad, heavy mace for ogre magi, pixie shortbow

Ah! One Weapon doesn’t work with Ranged Weapons, so then should work with the Ogre Magi, if matelener scripted it in.

How does the dryad shifterlvl /4 magic arrows work?

20 shifter will have added 5 magic dmg to their shots?

+5 Piercing, if I'm not mistaken. You can see something similar if you buy +1 or +2 arrows from a vendor, or cast the Enchanted Bow spell to create a shortbow which automatically loads +3 arrows.

I'd just like to say to -Stick with what you made and don't pre-nerf it because of two or three people loudly demanding nerfs on the forums.

The class seems like it'll be a lot of fun.

Is it restricted to 10 levels prior to epic levels?

I don't think so. Why would it be?

I do got to ask.., why 20 levels? It seems a bit much for a prc

I'm not on the staff, but my guess is ... Making it have 20 levels limits the ability to have multiples of the following: Dragon Disciple, Frenzied Berserker, Dwarven Defender, high Caster levels, etc.

Does natural spell actually work for the shifter forms?

The fact it isn't wildshape and natural spell only allows for casting in those specific forms, will that enable casting for the shifter forms?
