Benefits of the Shapechanger Subtype

[Munchkin-Masher]

I'm playing a Master of Many Forms and i'm about to hit level 10, But i can't find any info on the Shapechanger Subtype.

Does anyone know what it does?

you gain access to the Transformation Domain which gives a cleric tons of polymorph shenanigans

you can also get into a few good prestige classes

[The Rose Dragon]

Not much. It gives you proficiency with all natural weapons and simple weapons. It largely seems to be a holdover from 3rd Edition, where Shapechanger was a type, rather than a subtype, with all that entails, which the Shapeshifter class also gained it at 10th level.

Be sure you finish reading the Evershifting Form class feature at the top of the next page. Typically that type of benefit is given when a prestige class changes your type to an Outsider, but in this case it's due to a supernatural control over your own form rather than ascending to an otherworldly nature. Furthermore, immunity to Transmutations can be extremely beneficial, especially considering spell-like abilities and even supernatural abilities of some creatures which emulate Transmutation spells will likewise be ineffective against your character.
