I quite like lashes but the severely limited amount of favoured enemies you can fit in makes them massively sub-par compared to a shifter lizardfolk lash as this does not have the FE restriction for inflicting. This will be even more valid as new areas of the mod introduce creatures that don't come into the Outsider/Aberation bracket.

Indeed the whole FE is a boring restriction. Perhaps Ranger and Lasher custom abilities should be moved outside the FE families, while bane of enemies is made more relevant. It's too "roleplay-ee" instead of "game-ey"

AA got damage and DC on UPDATE 2017-09-23. DwD got their Stat boost on UPDATE 2017-12-13 (and dwd axe shield ac cap increased from 12 to 18) I've been thinking LBAB could be 15 for all classes (and divine power/tenser/heroism lose that legendary AB buff aspect) Maybe epic AB should be increased to 15 and Legendary AB decreased 10 (since one gain lots of ab due stat bonuses in LL - and to make an elegant 20/15/10/5 AB gain table in regular, epic, legendary and paragon levels) Assassin, Rogue, SD, XDD, druid, shifters and inventors would really appreciate that extra ab.

UPDATE 2020-12-01 did some buffs similar to what was proposed on:
I removed these proposals from the main topic. I also probably missed a few other from other updates in-between. UPDATE 2018-07-13 - Improvements made to Gnomish Inventors

We will probably look at tweaking/improving some of the underused Shifter forms at some point in the future, really doubt we would add more forms over upgrading under/unused ones tho. Pure rogue, good Cleric, fist monk, pure Druid, Dwarven Defender and Wizard are at the top of the current "help badly needed" list afaik. Fixing/tweaking them is a much bigger priority atm. KE. I came up with a few ideas on these classes. (and already had a few)

a few more: assume levels are pre-LL unless otherwise noted
Pure Rogue: CONCEPT: glass cannon - re-scale Self-Concealment so that you can hit 60% with SC3 and 70% with SC5 - increase sneak attack range (if possible) - crippling attack: 1x/rest + 1x at Rogue40 +1x at Rogue80; change to d8.....d12 with class secret
Dwarven Defender: CONCEPT: self-contained/gear-independent tank - shield AC with all axes and no Wis AC bonus - spell resistance comparable to monk - physical immunity 2% per str mod at DwD30 - physical resistance - +4/- at DwD30 (25/- overall) - +5/- every 5 levels after DwD30 (max is 45/- at DwD50) - elemental immunity and resistance scaled with physical resistance (ie. 2% per str mod and max 45/- at DwD50) - DwD 40 (LL) = Acid, Cold, Elec, Fire - DwD 45 (LL) = Sonic, Neg, Pos - DwD 50 (LL) = Div, Magic (Vile and Sacred?) - one artifact-level immunity at DwD30 (ie stun, blindess, poison, etc)
Fist Monk: CONCEPT: can kill you with their pinky finger - "Monk's Whetstone" = max +15 damage to unarmed attacks - Auto keen gloves at Monk30 - unarmed monk damage bonus = 5% per 40 monk levels + 5% at Monk80 (+15% max) - glove enchantment = +1/monk level after Monk20 to a max of +20 at Monk40 (min 16 base Wis)

What about changing nimbus to be toggable like bard auras? with ticks based on CoT level / CHA?

Would definately be nice if nimbus had more use without the smite feats, perhaps linked to cha instead of smite feats. With the current cooldown i use mine so rarely i forget i have it when it would be useful. But that's me not utilizing resources in the best way possible, rarely play my CoT as a single toon.

I just wanted to add some thoughts I had over in Shifter Changes thread: - Allow Kobold Commandoes to handle level 35+ traps. This would benefit soloists by making the jack-of-all-trades shifter more versatile and it would fit in with the flavor of commandoes.
- Give fairy form fast or very fast movement. After all, the pixie race has very fast movement and the firy form is basically a movement of the pixie polymorph. Giving the form fast movement would make it much more desirable to use, I think.
- Give Rakshasa form intuitive attack. The Rakshasa form is wielding a staff. We give other forms weapon feats that help their weapon (eg. expertise for Kobold) Rakshasa would really benefit from this, and free up a feat for shifters who like to use Rakshasa.
- Give mindflayer form a high base intelligence (28? 32?) We removed the 6 point bonus that regular NWN gives the form but c'mon: It is a mind flayer! They have gotta be smarter than usual! This would help when appraising, identifying and searching.
- Harpy and Leonal: Set up their song to auto-repeat, similar to the crystal golems crystaline matrix and the vampires greater sanctuary. I am constantly losing track of what is running for those two shapes.

Rakshasa is an arcane caster. It has level 8 spell immune and casts breach, thunderclap and icestorm. There is no thematic reason to give intuitive weapon. Shifters do not change mental attributes, only physical ones. Again this is thematic and from lore. Harpy and Leonal use bard abilities and should not be changed unless you were to change actual bards/warchanters/PMs/Paladins to match. I have no opinion on the other suggestions but I know feedback was previously given regarding kobold vs rogue levels.

I actually think auto-song-renewal might be a good idea for bards as well (although I do not know if that can be coded easily, since Bard song is carried over from regular NWN) To me, that makes the same thematic sense as having Harpy and Leonal keep singing (akin to Vampire GS and Crystal Golem crystalization)
