I have two versions of a Drow Defender. Not sure why a Dwarf would pretend to be a Drow, but maybe he's a spy! I've seen other Shifter/DwD builds, but they focused on Risen Lord form, not Epic Drow form. Some of those builds also had bad feat selections (WF Unarmed Strike, etc...).

The first build is with EDR, the second build is with Dev Crit Longsword.

Keep in mind that this build is about the Epic Drow Warrior combined with the Dwarven Defender class. It's not about Undead Shape or Dragon Shape.

Epic Drow Warrior form:

STR: 22
DEX: 22
CON: 25 (down from 27 since they get a -2 when shifting into e-drow)
WIS: 14
INT: 14
CHA: 6

Hitpoints: 778

SR 30
DR 21/-
Cold/Fire/Sonic 10/-


+6 Frozen Drow Blade 1d8+6 (19-20/x2) +2d4 cold +6 slashing
OnHit: Slow [Fort DC=10 + Shifter level] Level 15

Discipline 62, Tumble 27, Concentration 50
25 Reflex Save


- Can't be Disarmed.
- Rarely Sneak Attacked
- Improved Evasion
- Darkness 2/day 6 rounds
- Can't be Pick Pocketed
-onhit slow is very nice and rare


Sugestions:

Have a weapon with Vampieric regeneration and/or onHit sleep/stun.
You could drop Epic SKill Focus SPot and add Epic Fortitude in order to help save vs Dev Crits.
If you plan on wearing a Ring of Elemental Resistance then you could focus on EEDR Sonic instead of spreading the EEDR between 3 elements.



Not sure about how the RPed reaction would be to a Dwarf pretending to be a Drow. Perhaps he is a spy? lol

17 Shifter was taken to become an Epic Drow Warrior.
18 DwD was taken to get 12/- DR
5 Druid was to meat the min for Shifter class

9 DwD levels pre-epic to max out AB as much as I could and still be a Shifter.

======
DR 12/-
Fire 20/-

dev crit DC is 36 (subject to change with more STR of course)

Stats like Str and Dex were left at odd numbers because they get overwritten in Drow form anyways. 25 being the min for Dev Crit, 13 being min for Dodge.
