You reshape your body, gaining one of the following benefits. You choose the benefit when you enter the style, and while in the style you can change the benefit as a swift action.

  • Brutal Attack: Choose one of your natural attacks. You gain a +1 bonus on damage rolls with that attack when using this style, plus an additional +1 for every feat you have that lists Shapeshifter Style as a prerequisite (maximum +3).
  • Steady Grip: You gain a climb speed of 10 feet.
  • Tensed Sinews: You gain a +1 bonus on Reflex saving throws and a +5 enhancement bonus to your base speed.
  • Toughened Hide: You gain a +1 enhancement bonus to your existing natural armor bonus.

Special: A character with the wild shape class feature counts as having the change shape ability and shapechanger subtype for the purpose of meeting this feat's prerequisites.
