What a load of baloney, a Shapeshifter can wear armour! Give him the White or Shadow Dragon scale and see for yourself.

Thats my tumbs up for Shapeshifter's being the best Druid kit (cool name too)

I know for certain that Cernd can't use the Shadow Dragon Scale.

It would be nice if you explained to us how this works.

I have both Cernd and the Shadow Dragon Scale in my party. I try to put on the Scale on Cernd but the item is "red out" and not usuable. Aren't you forgetting to tell us something here?

Well, then, why doesn't the Shadow Dragon Scale work for "my" Cernd? Have you perhaps edited him in any way? Equipped him with any special item (does it work without all items?)? Or could you two guys by any chance be joking, now?

Nope! I just started a new game in ToB, Shadowkeeped both armors in and gave them to Cernd! He can use both! Maybe you haven't got ToB??

There were quite a few "balancing" changes between the kits/classes as there were many complaints that some kits were overly strong or weak. I know that there were many complaints about the Shapeshifter. As well, the Wizardslayer was considered to have too many drawbacks for the bonuses; Monks' M.R. was capped so that a Wizard Slayer (with a max. M.R. of 80% within the cap) would always be the most M.R. character. This armour change may have been one of the "balancing acts."

They havn't ny any chance balanced the Beastmaster kit? It has a huge drawback (can't use metal weapons) and puny abilities (animal summoning, cast familiar and +15 hide in shadows).

I played it the first time and was really bored... Swashie is much more fun...=)

Finally the answer. No, I haven't been able to aquire ToB yet (the resellers say *maybe* this wednesday but I heard their first "maybe" more than a month ago so...). The first post said nothing about ToB but I'm sure this explains it. Thanks.

See!! I told you he can wear both!!

Yes, you did. It took rapier to clarify that you needed to install ToB first, though.

Druids can only wear leather so...

What do you mean?

Craig · Post by **Craig** » Tue Jul 17, 2001 11:59 am

A druid cannot wear any better that studded leather thus a norm druid could do the same

Craig · Post by **Craig** » Tue Jul 17, 2001 12:02 pm

And it's probaly a bug, shadow is leather armour thus the black isle peoples did not mark it as unusable to shapeshifters cos it is leather and leather and druids work red dosn't work, why? it isn't leather!

Astafas · Post by **Astafas** » Tue Jul 17, 2001 12:53 pm

As I've explained before on this thread, the Black Dragon Scale doesn't go on Shapeshifters in SoA (ToB not installed, that is). If it is a bug, then it's a new one.

Csadar · Post by **Csadar** » Wed Oct 03, 2001 4:34 pm

But if you have ToB installed THEN go back to SoA can he wear it? (the shadow scales that is)
