Splendour of the Raptor < Superiority

Now, this is just a small thing I noticed, but Splendour of the Raptor, as it is, is weaker then Superiority, despite the fact that both are great shifts. Splendor of the Raptor grants +8 to stats, but Superiority grants +12. If Splendor of the Raptor granted +6 to both stats, it would be worth using when compared to Superiority. Yes, it grants more to those two stats then Superiority grants them, but that's not enough to balance it against it. If it granted something extra, then yeah, it could maybe equal it in power, but currently, it doesn't do enough to be worth using.--YX33A 17:26, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

If you've decided to min-max your character towards a setup where as many abilities as possible are Wisdom- or Charisma- based, you might usually choose Splendour of the Raptor over Superiority. I don't think I have enough Wisdom-based Shifts available at the moment for that to be amazing, though.

However, even assuming that it is an inferior choice, I do not have to improve it: It really doesn't cost you much to learn a Shift (most of the time), so the pain of picking trap options is pretty minimal. --Foxwarrior 01:30, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

Would you mind if...

...I made some shapes and shifts to match them? I've got some ideas, but they need to be cleared for me to push forward. I've got some ideas for dragons, some specific types of fiends, and a grab bag of creatures which may not be in the SRD.--YX33A 01:09, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Go ahead and make as many shapes and shifts as you like, but I reserve the right to tweak them. --Foxwarrior 01:20, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Some ideas

I know this is done but it would be cool if I could switch my ability scores in a way. What if I could use the ability score rebuilding rules from the PH2 when I shift I could add a cap on how much I can change that scales with level, allowing me to become even more versatile as levels progress. Maybe I can move around 5 points per 3 levels starting at level 3. So by 18th level I could move 30 points? Does that sound right. Of course this all applies before shifts...--Parakee^Talk 13:53, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

Also, why not let someone take the bonus feat power multiple times? Maximum 3 time mabey?--Parakee^Talk 22:20, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
