Re: List of (almost) all way to change form!
A few more quick additions:
Sand ShaperSand; prestige class; comes with Sandform (Sp), allowing the shaper to turn into a pile of moving sand 1/day for 1 minute+1 round/level;
Elemental SavantCAr; prestige class; its capstone at level 10 (Elemental Perfection) might give an alternate combat form (such as the air elemental's Whirlwind or the water elemental's Vortex) depending on the elemental specialty picked as many times and for as long as the elemental whose special attacks are replicated can do it;
Animal LordCAdv; prestige class; at level 3 or higher it gets Wild Aspect (Su) which (depending on the Animal Bond picked) may grant the ability to partially turn into something more beastlike, shifter-style (via growing claws, sprouting wings, gaining shark teeth and the like) up to 3 times a day.

Re: List of (almost) all way to change form!
Added a new category : Feats with a new entry... I think this is the more conveluted one yet.
By taking the feat Favored in Guild from the DMG2 and need you to be a dragon or have another dragon-related feat, you can use Alter self as an SLA 1/day. Which isn't much but you get Alter self on any race without being a spellcaster and for two feats (Favored in Guild + Dragonfriend) or to have the dragon type or the draconic heritage feat.

Re: List of (almost) all way to change form!
Hm. Would Minor ShapeshiftCM also qualify, then? Beyond letting one swift grow claws at-will, it doesn't detail how exactly it "reshape[s one's] flesh", but still. Also, speaking of reserve feats, Face-Changer (aka at-will Disguise Self: the feat) is likewise a thing. And Fey Presence (also from CM) grants Disguise Self 1/day as well.

Re: List of (almost) all way to change form!
Abolisher PrC (Lords of Madness) got Wild Shape - but only into Medium-sized Animals
Shapeshifter PrC (Oriental Adventures) gets Wild Shape at the very 1st level - but required "either know polymorph or have a natural alternate form, alter self, polymorph, or shapechange ability" to qualify
Wavekeeper PrC (Stormwrack): Wave Form - 7th-level CF - allow to transform into a Small, Medium, or Large water elemental
Born under the New Moon (Dragon #340): Disguise Self SLA 1/day
Initiate of Horus-Re feat (Champions of Valor): 1/day allow to Wild Shape into a hawk for 1 hour

If you enjoy Shapechange, allow me to recommend my

Re: List of (almost) all way to change form!
I guess they count. Thanks for your input, as always.
There are few really obvious one I already knew but never added to the list. Thanks to remind me they exist and have to add them here!
Unless I'm mistaken, Born Under the New Moon gives Command, not Diguise Self.
I do not, because it is a spell. And I don't like spells. And I made this thread to list every possible way to achieve alter self / polymorph / Shapechange / Wildshape without having to be a spellcaster to begin with.
(I still like your handbook and I'm impressed by the work you did)
--
Added the Shifter from Masters of the Wild since it grants you Greater Wildshape and Bounded Summoner, which is not really great but still exist and, I believe, pretty obscure. I'm pretty sure I forget about obvious ones. But like an idiot I do not take note when I find a new one.
Thanks everyone. The list is getting big.

Re: List of (almost) all way to change form!
For completeness: Urban Druid base class (Dragon Compendium) with Urban Shape - technically, it's different class than Druid, and different class feature than Wild Shape

Re: List of (almost) all way to change form!
Bit of a weird one - Thrall of Orcus 6 gets Pallor of Death, where you can "adopt the appearance of a humanoid undead creature of her choosing as if she had cast the alter self spell". 1/day, 1 minuter per level. The word appearance makes it a bit unclear (IMHO) whether it is an actual change, or a visual effect like disguise self. The wording, though, definitely references alter self.
Soul Eater 6 gets Soul Radiance, where they can shapechange into any creature they have drained all the levels from. Lasts up to 24 hours. Note: is a copy of the form of the specific creature drained.
Weretouched Master 5 - Alternate Form. Assume animal or hybrid animal form by using your shifting ability.
Master of Flies 2 - Swarm Shape: change into a swarm of vermin, similar to summon swarm. Later, gets powered up to insect plague (5), and eventually creeping doom (8). Otherwise treated as similar to wild shape.
Master of Vipers 9 - Swarm Shape: allows a yuan-ti to use their alternate form ability to change into a swarm of vipers.
[edit] And another race - Selkie (3 RHD, +1 LA): Alternate Form; change into a seal. Change is automatic in the ocean, but you can chose humanoid or seal form when in shallow waters or on a beach. [/edit]Last edited by Thurbane; 2022-08-09 at 05:16 PM.

Re: List of (almost) all way to change form!
Why nobody told me about the BEST ITEM IN THE GAME?
Added Phylactery of Change. For 11k2 gp only, level 7 polymorph with no duration and usable once per day. I really, really like it.
(And opened an "Item" category as well. I'm surprised no items have been added since the beginning of this list... Might have to look for more in a near future)Last edited by Condé; 2022-09-01 at 03:49 PM.

Because AEG is a scary minefield full of weird stuff?
