One of the characters I'm working on for an upcoming game is a shapeshifter. However, my GM is still kinda new and keeping track of all those forms is a pain for both of us. So, I've decided to limit the character's shapeshifting to a small number of other forms. I found the shifter handbook and the Weretouched Master caught my attention. I need convince my GM to let me use the pre-errata version because the errata'd version isn't worth using compared to other choices like Primeval and Bear Warrior. I was planning on Ranger 4/Weretouched Master (Tiger) 5/Warshaper 4/Kensai 7 for my character but I have a lot of questions that need answered before I can begin:
Weretouched Master Questions (using pre-errata Alternate Form):
-Is being in Alternate Form considered "shifting"?
-How long does Alternate Form last? Is using it a Free Action?
-Do my shifter feats still work in Alternate Form? How about class features like Weretouched I and II?
-Can I stack normal shifting and Alternate Form?
Kensai and Natural Attacks Question:
-The shifter handbooks say that Improved Natural Attack counts as a shifter feat. Where is this stated?
-Shifters only have natural weapons for a limited time per day. Is this going to be problem when trying to do the 24 hour meditation to enchant the Kensai's Signature Weapon?
-If I make my claws my Signature Weapon, do the weapon properties carry over across different forms? In other words are Razorclaw shifter claws, Hybrid Alternate Form claws, Animal Alternate Form claws all considered to be the same pair of claws as far as the Kensai class is concerned?
-If my Kensai has the Rake special attack and enchants his claws attacks, will the Rake claw attacks also gain the benefits of his Signature Weapon?
-If my Kensai enchants multiple natural weapons with the Lucky weapon property (or another weapon property with limited uses per day), do I get one reroll per natural weapon or am I still only allowed one reroll per day?
-Any recommendations for weapon properties to put on my claws? With Kensai 7, I'm considering +1 Magebane, Transmuting, Corrosive, Earth Elemental Power (+1 version) claws as my Signature Weapon.
And here is one more random question:
-Are there any deities that have Claw or Bite as a favored weapon and if no, would unarmed strike work as a favored weapon instead?
Weretouched Master Questions (using pre-errata Alternate Form):
-Is being in Alternate Form considered "shifting"?
-How long does Alternate Form last? Is using it a Free Action?
-Do my shifter feats still work in Alternate Form? How about class features like Weretouched I and II?
