Ranger (Shapeshifter)
System: Pathfinder | SRD | Type: Subclass (Archetype) of Ranger
Most rangers venture into the wilderness, but there are some who let the wilderness seep into them. Whether by curse, disease, ancient rite, a slight lycanthropic influence in the blood, or the corrupting influence of chaos, these rangers embrace the wild to transform themselves into something untamed and feral. Shapeshifters are often held in awe, but are even more often feared. A shapeshifter has the following class features.
Class Features
Combat Style Feat (Extraordinary)
At 2nd level, a shapeshifter ranger must choose the natural weapon combat style.
Shifter's Blessing (Supernatural)
At 3rd level, the shapeshifter can take on the aspects of a wild creature once per day as a swift action. He can remain in this form for a number of rounds equal to his ranger level + his Wisdom modifier. While in one of his shifter's blessing forms, the ranger gains the shapeshifter subtype.
The shapeshifter must choose one of the following forms. Once this choice is made, it cannot be changed.
Dual Form Shifter (Extraordinary)
At 12th level, when the shapeshifter takes on a shifter's blessing form, he can take on a hybrid of two of his forms. He gains the bonuses for both forms. This ability replaces camouflage.
Master Shifter (Supernatural)
At 20th level, the ranger's shifter's blessing forms improve, and he can take on true forms of beasts. The ranger can use dual form shifter with this ability, although he cannot use more than one polymorph effect at any one time. This ability replaces master hunter. The ranger's forms from shifter's blessing improve to the following:
