Classes that give permanent ability boosts
Name says it all i noticed from the warshaper at level 2 Morphic Body (Su): At 2nd level and higher, a warshaper can use its precise control over its form to make itself stronger and heartier. It gains +4 to Strength and +4 to Constitution.
I was wondering what other classes have similar boost that stay regardless of level/class after it is gained?
Or is there a tool or site i might look to or for as the sites i have used do not have a option to search that way.
Any help would be great.
Edit: fixed spelling issue
Edit 2: I plan on using a Changling and cant use racial paragons unless im missing theres or if there eligiable for humans.Last edited by MaxMAnAtArms; 2017-12-28 at 03:37 PM.

Re: Classes that give permanent ability boosts
Well, there's the War Hulk, which gives +2 to strength every level.
A lot of classes that change you into something else add attribute boosts, an example being Dragon Disciple.

All racial paragon classes give a +2 boost at third level.

Re: Classes that give permanent ability boosts
Someone made a pretty decent list here once upon a time, let's see if I can find it...
I think this is the one I'm thinking of: 3.5 PrCs that grant Ability Score Bonuses

Re: Classes that give permanent ability boosts
Thrall of Baphomet from Dragon Magazine #341 provides an increase of +4 to your choice of Str, Dex, or Con as part of the level 10 capstone. Note this is a natural increase, like those gained at every 4 levels, rather than inherent.

Re: Classes that give permanent ability boosts
Heartwarders (Faiths & Pantheons) do not get increases, but they do get a +5 inherent bonus to Charisma over ten levels. Depending on the sort of game you're playing, that might be as good as a real increase.

Re: Classes that give permanent ability boosts
Don't take it, but Forsaker from Masters of the Wild gets +2 to any stat every level. At the cost of not being allowed to ever use magic. Ever. In any way. No, not even then. Especially not then.
In fact, to keep your class granted DR, you have to destroy an absurd amount of magic items daily.I follow a general rule: better to ask and be told no than not to ask at all.

Re: Classes that give permanent ability boosts
Forsaker only provides +1 per level to an ability score, and they are inherent.
However, Waker of the Beast from Dragon #296 provides +4 Strength untyped, and a size increase which provides another +8 strength and +4 Constitution; however, in addition to -2 Dex you take -6 Intelligence.Last edited by ViperMagnum357; 2017-12-28 at 05:51 PM.

Re: Classes that give permanent ability boosts
The Primeval from Frostburn gives permanent +3 Str, Dex, Con & Wis but drains -3 Int & Cha. Primeval Form adds the animals stats to yours instead of replacing them so your physical stats can get crazy high. Then it boosts those even higher.

Re: Classes that give permanent ability boosts
Not a class and not to most peoples liking but Vow of Poverty gives you:
7th level: +2 in 1 stat
11th level: +2 in 1 stat plus +2 on 7th level stat increased
15th level: +2 in 1 stat plus +2 on 7th and 11th level stat increased
19th level: +2 in 1 stat plus +2 on 7th, 11th and 15th level stat increased
Total at level 19 is +8 1 stat, +6 1 stat, +4 1 stat and +2 1 stat.

Re: Classes that give permanent ability boosts
While not a class, Vow of Poverty could be interesting too in regards of the ability boost.
But you get a similar warning like with the Forsaker, since the restrictions for VoP are very hard and limiting. But hey maybe throw both of em together?^^Last edited by Gruftzwerg; 2017-12-29 at 07:33 PM.
