Type of Feat: Epic
Prerequisite: Wis 30, 21st level, Greater Wildshape IV or Wild Shape 5x/day
Specifics: The character may use Wildshape to change into a dragon. The transformation has a duration of 1 hour/class level.
Use: Selected. After selecting, the character must choose what type of dragon they will appear as. Available types are Red (fire), Blue (lightning) and Green (acid), each with appropriate breath-attack and elemental resistance.
Breath Weapon
Breath DC: 15 + (Shifter Level + Druid Level) / 2
Damage: (Shifter Level + Druid Level - 4) * 2 / 3
Damage dice used depends on the Dragon:
- Red Dragon D10 Fire
- Blue Dragon D8 Lightning
- Green Dragon D6 Acid
Dragons without at least 10 levels of Shifter suffer a -4 damage penalty on both DC and damage.
Notes
- Requires Hordes of the Underdark.
- Unlike normal dragon monsters, the character will not gain a fear-aura when shapeshifted as a dragon.
- This form of shapeshifting cannot be dispelled.
- This is the only Epic Shape feat-choice which is available to Druids without Shifter levels.
- Requires simply Wild Shape 5x/day as prerequisite, not 6x/day as stated by manual.
- Feat can only be acquired in a level advancement as Druid or Shifter
- Has 40/+6 DR and +6 claws for purpose of beating DR
- AB in the form is calculated by base attack + str mod, weapon finesse and unarmed weapon focuses do not work in this form neither does dev crit in unarmed.
- Contrary to other unarmed feats not working improved critical unarmed does.
- Properties only on armor, shield, and helmet carry over to the form. Like properties except for regen do not stack and all bonus AC is considered deflection and will not stack.
- Due to needing a great deal of wisdom, a monk level is best taken as it will improve the unarmed attack progression, give you stunning fists which will have a decent DC, improve your AC by adding your wisdom modifier and opening up Discipline and Tumble skills. Moreover, you can equip a shield to carry over its properties when shifted and not lose any monk bonuses you normally would for equipping a shield.
- A common way to quickly meet the Wisdom minimum of Dragon Shape is to take levels of Champion of Torm after level 20. Great Wisdom is one of CoT's Epic Bonus Feats.
- The ability modifiers used against breath DC are a reflex save for lightning and fire, fortitude save for poison.
