Shifter(New Job)

[Tsukino_Kaji]

You take on the form of the wild beats of Vana'Diel to unleash your own savage nature.
Utilizing Job Abilities you shift into your selected from. While in your Feral Form MP is consumed to maintain bestial nature. Only one form may be active at any given time, but can be canceled manually. Activating a higher level Feral Form will negate your current from, but likewise, a lower level form cannot overlap a higher one. Changing a Feral Form will set your current TP to 0. When activated, each Feral Form will give you access to unique Feral Pact job abilities and TP weapon skills as well as augment individual combat skills based on your feral magic skill.

I'm sure you get the gist of it, I'll work on it more later.

[Alkalinehoe]

I approve!

I think they should drop BST support and add the Shifter job.

[Alderin]

A few guys in my old LS were talking about a similar but different concept once. Was a "wouldn't it be cool if..." moment but the idea was a Doppelganger / Shapeshifter (sort of similar to your idea), however the idea was to be able to change into different jobs (Kind of like SCH's ability to change between white and black magic) but this would have been much wider base - Limit JA's to having it as a main, however the ability to change from a Nin to a Mnk for certain situations during a fight etc.

But yeah as I said, the concept was a "it would be cool if...." moment.

Your idea is rather unique. Kind of sounds like someone loves Twilight though

That gear is quite nice. But I don't see the connection.
I was thinking of D&D Druids.

Can you explain in more detail please i still don't get it

[Komori]

It sounds amazing to me, and DEFINITELY something I'd be interested in.

[Jalonis]

You basically copy and pasted summoner and changed a few names. It's a good idea but I find your implementation extremely lacking.

Also, smaller forms for the highest levels. They would either have to be shrunken models which would look stupid as hell, or you'd be stuck fighting beside a dragon which takes up your entire screen.
