Type of Feat: Class
Prerequisite: Shifter 5
Specifics: The character may shift into the creature forms (Manticore, Basilisk, Drider) 3x/day. The shapes are replaced by stronger Epic versions at level 15.
Use: Selected
Notes:
Exclusive to Hordes of the Underdark.
At shifter level 10 Infinite Greater Wildshape III allows unlimited use of this ability.
This form of shapeshifting cannot be dispelled.
Because the Manticore Spikes use Isaac's Missile Storm for targeting, it has interesting properties not intuitive for a volley of spikes. For example, they can be targeted on blank space, and the spikes will automatically seek out nearby targets, and can go around corners where the manticore does not have line of sight. There is a area of effect from the impact point outside of which targets will not be selected for the distribution of spikes. It is therefore theoretically possible to target blank space far from a cluster of creatures so that fewer are in this selection area, and therefore focus more spikes on fewer creatures. At up to 5 spikes per volley, damage can be up to 5d3+10d8 (15-95), with no save.
