There a place on the forums or somewhere with information or could you give information on skinwalkers for those that wish to be shifters and all those that have been asking about such? Thank you greatly! Is this some kind of reference to something in Faerun? Are you asking about something from the setting or something from the class? Details about the class, as presented in both NWN and D&D, can be found here: PrC: Shifter in the Prestige Classes Resources and Lore sub-forum underRoleplay Ideas, Suggestions, and Discussion forum. (That sub-forum should probably be moved to the Lore of the Lands section though.) frc.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=prclore&action=display&thread=7995 |

From what I've heard it's a group of elves that follow Rillifane and are set on protecting the woods and such from threats, and are also shifters of some sort. But no one really knows more than that. That I've heard at least.

Skinwalker
Description: Some Green elven priests of Rillifane Rallathil live apart from their brethren, seeking out a solitary existence in the forest.
Those who follow this path long enough are taught the secret rituals of skinwalking by older priests.
Skinwalking is a special magical form of shapechanging that involves using hides and other animal parts to transform into an animal form.
Other Green elves tend to avoid skinwalkers, but turn to them in times of crisis, or for advice on major problems confronting the tribe.
Barred: Skinwalkers must worship Rillifane Rallathil, or one of the other wilderness-oriented Seldarine deities such as Solonor Thelandira or Erevan Ilesere.
Role:
The Green tribes treat skinwalkers with great respect and often fear, as they are said to be dangerous and uncontrollable. Skinwalkers exist to help their tribes in times of danger, and to learn more about the works of nature. Secondary Skills: Skinwalkers must select from either fisher, forester, or hunter.
Weapon Proficiencies:
Skinwalkers are even more primitive than most Green elves. When
first created, a skinwalker's weapon proficiencies can be selected only from these: longbow, short bow, club, dagger, javelin, knife, spear.
Nonweapon Proficiencies:
Bonus proficiencies: direction sense (general). Recommended: fire-building, swimming, weaving (general), healing, herbalism (priest).
Equipment:
Skinwalkers can buy only leather armor and weapons in which they are proficient when first created.
Special Benefits:
Skinwalkers specialize in shape-changing. This is not the same as the disease of lycanthropy, although there are some similarities. Skinwalkers can freely change from animal to human form, and retain their human intelligence while changed.
Taken from Elves of Evermeet 2nd edition source book. It's a PRC kit from the old days. I love when players model their characters from certain old PrCs even realizing that they aren't a PrC on FRC, or nwn.

Thanks.
They sound more like druids than shifters since they only take animal forms.

Sorry for posting here, but I've just a meager request
Can you post all the data you have, Thann, into my lore thread about PrCs? That's an exotic addition I'd love to see!
