Hello,

I've read thru about 125pages of these uber char builds yet can only recall a few Shifter builds. I would like to build an allround shifter that doesn't just concentrate on making an Uber dragon so here's a rough start. BTW this is PvM only.

I realise that there are some Shifter builds out there but I haven't seen any really detailed ones like the rest of the builds in this thread and am not sure about some details. Please provide some constructive criticism.

Human LN Druid 17/Shifter 17/Monk 6.

Stats: (Ending)
S 10
D 10
C 10
I 14
W 18 (28)

-- = Blank Feat

Rationale: Maximise BAB by Level 20, take Monk levels so as to get Tumble in lumps of 5 Ranks exactly. Get level 7 Druid asap for Stoneskin. After that, get Shifter levels as high as possible quickly and get all forms asap apart from Dragon which must be left til end for maximized powergaming . Take the final Monk Level at lvl 37 to get Tumble and Discipline to 40 each.

I don't have HotU yet so I'm not too sure about after Level 20, when the feats become available, etc. I think I only have 9 feats left to use? Does a Level 17 Shifter get any bonus feats?

Can I take the feats as I've suggested here? I'm not too sure about the Undead and Dragon ones if I have them right. The rest of my feats I'm not sure of:

Luck of Heroes
Heavy Armour (is this necessary?)
Zen Archery (backup ranged attacker?)
Weapon Focus (Unarmed)
Imp Critical (Unarmed)
Expertise
Imp Expertise
Extend Spell
Empower Spell
Maximize Spell
Toughness
Lightning Reflexes
Blind Fighting

Thats actually 13, which one(s) could I leave out and are there others (epic) that might be better?

Skills:

I reckon this char would end up with 301 skill points.
Monk Levels:
Tumble 40
Discipline 40
Hide 40
Move Silently 40

Druid/Shifter Levels:
Spellcraft 40
Concentration 43
Animal Empathy 43
Persuade 11
Open Locks 1(2)
Disable Trap 1(2)

Thanks.
