Anyway, just a spontaneous suggestion for some elf-drow shifter loving, since these combos seem pretty crappy.

How about making natural (unshifted) stats matter for shifters to a wider extent than how many hps you get?


for example:

intelligence could affect spell saves / generally affect how well you utilize your form's abilities / mana consumption in form

dexterity could affect how quickly you shift and revert / the tanking of your form

strength could affect your melee damage in form / relevant skills like headbutt or orangutang punch

con could affect your hp regeneration in form / boost/reduce special snake/croc regeneration

wisdom is such a huge deal for shifters it doesn't need more affects
