The Noctuary (D&D 3.5e, Level 20+ Adventure)

[AvatarVecna]

It's nice to see some 20-level builds put into action, but at the same time I shudder at the idea of actually comtemplating what Shapechange looks like in a real game.

The power of wild shape/shapechange focused builds is one of those things that always feels like a really easy path to power and versatility, and also something I never want to touch with a 10 ft pole. If someone enjoys it, good for them, but I have enough trouble building one sheet for figuring out how all my stuff combines into combat stats. Even if you've only got a dozen forms you ever take, that's a dozen sheets you probably need to make just to keep track of how items/buff spells/shapechange stats are stacking. That sounds exhausting.

EDIT: And ofc if you find yourself in a situation where you need to use something other than one of your standard forms, time for a new sheet!
