Hello folks,
is there some class or PrC (a ranger PrC would be best) which specializes in hunting down shapechangers? Meaning dopplegangers, mimics, lycanthropes, creatures with alternate humanoid forms like dragons, rakshasa, fey'ri, succubi, barghests etc, and maybe polymorphed spellcasters too.
Ideally, such a character should possess the ability to sense or see a shapechanger in its true form, and the ability to force it back into its natural form or "lock" it in one form.
Alternatively, are there any spells, feats, items like this, and where can find them? I'm pretty sure there are spells, but I can't remember their name.
I dimly remember a magic powder or spell from a Planescape or Sigil supplement that could be used to force a transformation on a natural shapeshifter, but that might have been from an AD&D 2nd edition source?
Thanks for the help. If you can link me to a stat block for such an NPC already statted out, that would be even greater.
