Description

This druid is not called Shapeshifter because he has access to a great variety of forms, rather because of his complete dedication to a single alternate form. This druid has willingly allowed himself to become infected with Lycanthropy, but due to intense study and training he has the ability to control his affliction. The creature he becomes is that of the Werewolf, the most famous of the lycanthrope shape changers

Advantages:
- May shapeshift into the form of a werewolf once per day for every 2 levels (starts at 1st level with one use).
- At 13th level gains the ability to change into a greater werewolf once per day.

Disadvantages:
- No other shapeshifting abilities due to the effort required maintaining balance in his primary forms
- Cannot wear ANY armor


Opinions


Bardan says : Cernd is a ShapeShifter. Yeuk! Actually, though, the kit is not that bad if you have a simple strategy. The werewolf forms are very powerful, and have unlimited duration. Stay as a human to cast all your spells (including Ironskins!), then stay as a werewolf for hours for the regeneration and awesome melee abilities. Not a great deal better than a vanilla Druid, but better nontheless.
