Shifter's crown

[jelricle]

Any chance of/interest in creating a helmet that let's you cast Polymorph Self and Shape Change, 3 times a day?

It would give non-shifters access to huge and tiny shapes for locations where that could help.  It would allow shifters to access spider, zombie, Balor and fire giant.

Maybe we could throw in Tenser's Transformation with the polymorph it used to have. And/or the avatar shapes?

Would it be possible to include armor, item, etc. merging with the shapechange spell on an item? Or merging with the avatar polymorph shapes

I fully admit this is really just a quality of life item. Something you can have fun with.

This would be a new item/feature, not a QoL edit. Shapes that don't scale aren't useful past early game, there're already a bit too many underused shifter shapes that could use help without introducing new ones, while polimorph/shapechange spells are something only rangers/pariah use for their alternate effect, they aren't supposed to give shifter-tier power (read: equipment merging) to no-shifters.

That being said, if you only want something to have fun with, you can use Polimorph Self and Shapechange from arcane scrolls with UMD, after casting Tenser or other buffs if you wish too.

Hmmm . . . So how about something that scales and only for shifters? :-)

This could be the special shifter item in the game (isn't there special Arcane Archer, Pale master and barbarian items?) Add elemental, avatar, shape change and polymorph forms that are not yet available to shifters. Have these forms merge what the shifter is wearing. Celestial Avenger could have divine immunity with infernal vulnerability; Vrock and Succubus could have the reverse. Allow shift to tenser with battle benefits.

I just discovered motes!

Maybe this could be "The ever shifting mote", opening up the remaining shapes to shifters (with equipment merging) and unlimitted regular wildshape feat?
