Shifter

Revision as of 16:45, 30 April 2026 by Orth (talk | contribs) (layonara wiki-sync: class Shifter @ nwn-haks 99d84bcc)

A shifter has no form they call their own. Instead, they clothe themselves in whatever shape is most expedient at the time. While others base their identities largely on their external forms, the shifter actually comes closer to their true self through all of their transformations. Of necessity, their sense of self is based not on their outward form, but on their soul, which is truly the only constant about them. It is the inner strength of that soul that enables them to take on any shape and remain themselves within. Only a Druid can become a shifter.
