What You Will Find Inside
Legendary Shifters
Legendary Shifters is the latest volume in our series of class-focused player supplements,
this time focusing on the the mercurial shifters! This base class, introduced in Ultimate
Wilderness, was designed to be the ultimate shapeshifting character, allowing players to take
a variety of forms in the blink of an eye. Legendary Shifters works to further embody this
concept with a redesign of the class that gives even greater freedom to transform into whatever
you wish at a moment’s notice. With an updated version of wild shape dubbed shifter shape,
legendary shifters can not only take different forms more easily, but also change between
their forms without hesitation! In addition, this book contains a ton of new archetypes to help
your shifter take the form you want them to, from the furious Dragon Touched to the tricky
and capricious Fey Shifter. The insidious Mimickin allows for transformation into regular
objects, while Necromorphs are focused on both transforming into and raising the dead.
And if even more variety is required, the Polymorph Savant prestige class allows for almost
infinitely varied shapeshifting, with access to a plethora of different forms. Plus, new feats,
spells, and more!
The Legendary Games tradition is to combine rich story and background, innovative layout,
beautiful aesthetics, and excellence in design that is second to none. This product is the latest
in that tradition, and we hope you enjoy using it as much as we enjoyed making it. Game on!

Class Features
The following are the class features of the shifter.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: A legendary shifter is
proficient with all simple
and martial weapons and
the natural attacks (claw,
bite, and so forth) from the
shifter evolution class feature and
of forms she assumes with shifter shape.
Legendary shifters are proficient with light and
medium armor and shields (except tower shields).
Bonus Languages: A legendary shifter’s bonus
language options include Sylvan, the language of
woodland creatures, and Aklo, the tongue spoken by
certain sinister fey or otherworldly denizens of reaches
of the wild rarely explored by humanity. These choices
are in addition to the bonus languages available to the
character because of her race.
A legendary shifter speaks Druidic, a secret language
known only to druids and legendary shifters, which she
learns upon becoming a 1st-level shifter. Druidic is a
free language for a legendary shifter; that is, she knows
it in addition to her regular allotment of languages, and
it doesn’t take up a language slot. Legendary shifters
are forbidden to teach this language to non-druids or
non-legendary shifters, although they do not suffer any
consequences for doing so.
For the purposes of teaching and learning the Druidic
language, legendary shifters are considered to be druids—
the nuances of the language are instrumental in teaching
characters of both classes to use and control their
abilities. While the rare druidic circle might bar shifters As the legendary shifter gains levels, she gains more

enough to mark her as a scion of the natural world,
although her parent failed to understand that. Filled
with fear that their child was somehow cursed, soon
after Ines’s birth she was left in the wilderness, her
parents hoping that some wild beast would come upon
her and finish the job of which they were unwilling to do.
Fate had other plans, as the young child was found by
a wandering fey. The fairy folk, a wood nymph named
Esle, could sense the power of nature coursing through
the infant, finding herself intrigued that a child could
be so infused with such purity. Considering the child
to be quite the find, Esle chose to raise the baby herself,
helping to nurture her new daughter’s potential. As
Ines grew older, the extent of her abilities became more
obvious, learning how to take more and more forms of
the forest, often playing games with her mother in these
forms to the delight of both.
Natural power wasn’t the only thing filling Ines, as
the young girl soon found she was also hopelessly
overflowing with love. Unable to spend a day
without a crush, Ines had quite the infatuation with
an old satyr named Hones, constantly following
around the old goat and trying to gain his favor.
After years of trying, Ines slowly developed the idea
to further advance her shifting abilities, hoping
to impress the satyr with her command of her
powers. That was three years ago, and Ines is still
out adventuring in the human world, experiencing
all there is to offer. While occasionally she
remembers why she left in the first place,
Hones often becomes a dull memory
amid the bevy of new experiences, Ines
