Introducing the Battleshaper
Maybe you saw me talking about a class based on transforming yourself. Well here it is, the Battleshaper! It takes inspirations from the 4e Warden, Beorn, Blade, primal magic and elements inspired in other DW classes.
The design on this class is basically done. It is missing 1 more Level 6-10 moves. Name and look lists, a fancy character sheet and PLAYTESTING!
But how do you think this looks in it’s current form? Is the main transformation mechanic understandable?
I love the shamanistic feel. I also love that it feels similar to incarnum magic, haven’t really seen a class in DW pull that of well until this! (Also, /sub)
Incarnum was definetly on my mind when i started working on the class. One this draft i didn’t think about it at all. Thanks for reminding me though.

I like how it feels like a 4e warden or a shifter(were-creature). It looks really fun and well balanced, although Strike of Silver seems to be too conditional to be useful IMO (you have to engage a shapeshifter in melee and have selected this move)
But when you select this move it is a clear flag to the GM that you want to do that and they should give you every opportunity to do it. Being a fan and all.
oh, but that you for liking it, that should have been my first comment.
