Hi, I'm looking for a PvP shifter that specializes in the Risen Lord or Kobold. Something that can kill wizards/sorcs. 18 Monk 17 Shifter 5 Druid... gets a +6 weapon to bypass their premonition, has sneak attacks, and HiPS... so as long as True Seeing isn't set to default, you'll do good versus mages.

Oh, and you're very fast with Empty Body 2x per day.

Of course, a Risen could accomplish much the same thing, but Undeath to Death is very scary for them (hard to get high Will saves on a Risen).

sorry about the second post. It was a complete accident. NP, it happens. I'll lock the other thread.

We will die Wouldn't a Rakshasa be an ideal mage killer? They're immune to eighth level spells and lower. Risen Lord gets fancy immunities but is vulnerable to Undeath to Death. Kobold has Evasion, but that won't save you from the other forms of terrible, terrible pwnage mages have. Not really... a Rak once morded is an easy meal for any PvP teammate.

Kobold is certainly your best bet versus a mage. Especially if you work in Epic Energy Resist: Acid for piercing those Mestils Acid Sheaths. And the +6 Weapon makes all DR spells except Warding worthless.

Another problem with raks is Evards Tenticles!!! A Mage Spamming them on a rak (Esp if Maxed) = bibi Rak

No Evards now goes through Spell immunities. Also any area of effect spell can effect a rak if the caster then casts any level 9 spell. Rak is indeed a serious pain for mages (i.e. unltd. ice storms, at will, among other things, meaning, caster's ain't gonna cast much, see: http://nwn.wikia.com/wiki/Outsider_shape for more info.
On the other hand, as does everything, Raks got weaknesses in the form of paladin & clerics (ie., blessed bolts - as in, one shot and ... ); kobolds are cool, but absent STR/BAB class, no AB to hit a high ac mage (druids ain't got mords, and even if go wiz or sorc for it, can't cast in kobold form; and while HiPs is really seriously cool (it really is), hard to sneak up on mages w.o impr.invis. at the least, unless true seeing nerfed and/or play around it - in which case, enjoy Otherwise, raks are quite effective at bugging mages and helping out their team.

Hope the above helps. Cheers, ~ Tyr

My Rak build is also nice since it's a Cleric Based Rak.
