List of (almost) all way to change form!

[Condé]

Hi,

I love my characters to be able to change their aspect. Often it means taking a stat bloc and slap it into your character sheet, for the most part. (It is not that simple but for the most part, it is)
And sometimes it is just like in Pathfinder and you keep your sheet, add a bunch of stats and pretend to be an animal. (Shapeshift Druid, I'm looking at you)
In both case, I love it. Because it is cool, flavorful (More or less) and it gives you new tools for your characters to do something others cannot and it doesn't rely on spell to achieve it.
Because spells are solutions to all problems, Wild Shape or Polymorph are a nice alternative and give opportunies and offer new ways to solve problems. (And to broke the game too but we are not here to talk about that)

Spells are going to be listed for completeness as Domains giving access to spells like Alter self or polymorph, but I'm not going to focus this listing to this method of acquiring a new form for your character.

IMPORTANT: I am going to list only races, classes or prestige classes GIVING you Alter Self / Polymorph or Shapechange, not these who modify or improve them. (So no Warshaper, MoMF, Master Transmogrifist etc...)

Monster races are a thing and I know some of them have polymorph or shapechange abilities. But since this list is more Player-oriented, I'm not going to list any of them. (Except Doppelganger, because they are like Changeling except they suck because of their racial HD and LA, but they are cool and we can't have nice things in Faerun for some reason because Changelings are Eberron only)

So, without further ado, let's make a list of Races, Classes and Prestige Classes offering these options to dinosaurs third edition players.
