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.

Item merge
- Weapon is the primary weapon slot.
- Items are both ring slots, amulet slot, cloak slot, boots slot, and belt slot.
- Armor is the armor slot, shield slot (shield only, offhand weapons do not merge), and helmet slot.
- The Gloves or Bracers Slot and the ammunition slots never merge.
- Rules of thumb:
- Has a weapon? Merges all.
- Unarmed, stands on two legs? Merges items & armor.
- Unarmed, four or more legs? Merges armor only.
- Exceptions to the rule are Death Slaad Lord, Stone Golem and Demonflesh Golem.
Notes
- Requires Hordes of the Underdark.
- The Shifter and Druid shapeshifting feats are not affected by dispel.
- Spell resistance from the shapes does not stack with Monk's Diamond Soul feat.
- Damage reduction from the shapes does not stack with other DR feats or Dwarven Defender class.
