ToB + Shapeshifting?

[gkathellar]

Has anyone put together a class that combines some kind of shapeshifting ability with Tome of Battle? My google-fu yields no results, but if anyone knows of one that happens to be floating around, I offer this delicious cookie (http://maxflies.net/files/2011/03/lighter-chocolate-chip-cookies.jpg) in gratitude.

I don't know about classes, but there are a couple of disciplines to that effect.

Masked Moon, Part I (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showpost.php?p=7780212) and Part II (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showpost.php?p=7780220)

Check tome of tactics in my sig. There's a prestige class, force of nature that doesit and also a druid variant that's going ro make me drop the PrC. I probably need to tweak the druid version a bit, but i think it works

I had seen Masked Moon, but not Wild Moon. Thanks!

I'll be keeping my eye on that druid variant. Thanks.

Updated it slightly, mainly the action that starts a Hybrid Wild Shape and clarifying what makes the hybrid form desirable over standard wild shape (even to the point of giving up higher level stances), which is that your gear is not absorbed into you and continues to function.

This interests me. I may work on such a class. A warrior-"mage" focused on perfecting and adapting its body in order to better react to combat situations.

Combine Shapeshift and Sudden Shift effects with Warshaper stuff as well as maneuvers... A vague skeleton of a class is forming in my mind.
