How many levels of Warshaper?

[ChaosStar]

I have a Wereleopard Psychic Warrior using Natural Weapons. He's already planned to have SUS, Beast Strike, and Snap Kick. He's already got Improved Natural Attack for both Claw and Bite as well as Multiattack. So should he only take 1 level of Warshaper, 2 levels, or 4 levels?

I'd say 4 levels is worth it. Extra reach is hard to get, and having fast healing saves you a lot of resources.

I concur. 4 levels gets you everything you ever really need from it. The 1 level dip is nice, the second level really helps sustain, third level is just all around great for playing footsies. The fourth level giving fast healing is the natural exit point. You don't really get anything from the fifth level: No bab, no save bonuses, and flash/multimorph is not really great.

For a character with unlimited shapeshifting - you get almost nothing from warshaper 5

For a master of many forms who got the right magic items - 5 levels are actually a great boon for all day long versatility and power


In your case? Yeah, 5th level isnt really worth it
