Shapeshifting HD's & "caster level"

[ChainBelt]

Hi,

So I'm making a Naruto style jinchuuriki with a dragon as the tailed beast. I'm using the Dragon Shen's Hybrid form as the basic chakra cloak. It also lets me get a level in Shapeshifter for the wild shape which I team up with the Draconic Wild Shape feat to become a medium dragon as my midway form. I'm then going Initiate of the Draconic Mysteries so the Dragon Form ability will let me attain full beast mode, a huge dragon by Lv20 (estimated end of campaign).

Now the question is: Is any of that possible given the HD can't be more than caster level condition associated with wild shape and Dragon Form? If not, can anyone suggest a way to make that vision a reality?

I'm hoping I'm missing something about caster levels since the Initiate is supposed to be able to become a huge dragon but I don't think any huge dragons will have only the 10HD that my caster level would be. Same with shapeshifter; I don't know how many huge things have only 7HD since they can become huge things at Lv7.

Thanks in advance

The Initiate of the Draconic Mysteries gives you Shapechange, which as far as I can tell would have a caster level equal to your hit dice.

You should have no problem turning into a dragon with that.

Wild Shape will be more problematic if you only have one level in Shifter.
