Quote: If you want to exploit a current polymorph/wildshape bug that I doubt they will fix:
Leave all your physical stats at 8 and when you level up shift into a form that have the stats you need for a prereq to a feat. Example power attack requires 13 str, wildshape into a bear before you hit the level up button and power attack will be on your list.

I fixed that "exploit", but with a different intention. Most of the forms have only 1 or 2 stats that are changed, the rest is left at the shifter's original values. This way a shifter will benefit from his high dexterity, even when switching into a "strong" form, because his dex does not change. The side effect for this is that you are going to suck pretty much if you leave those at 8.

Quote: Whoooaaaa cool. If Im reading this right I could set it up so my Dwarf Fighter could get cursed and have a pair of Butterfly wings applied to him.

Well, no. I should have been clearer. I meant PC models as in the models for the various races that PC's can play... human, elf, dwarf, etc. You can still only apply the wings to NPC's in the toolset. This is not a player feature, this is a toolset feature that allows you to create some varied creatures.

Wing Models: The harpy model's wings are not seperate from the main model... so no, they may not be used anywhere. I don't think their wings are really what you'd want to use for avariel though, would you? Even so, avariel can easily be made... there are six types of wings that you can apply to PC models such as the elf:

1) Dragon (red)
2) Demon (brown and pointier)
3) Angel (white and bird-like)
4) Bird (like the Angel wings but a mottled brown)
5) Butterfly (and very green!)
6) Bat (and flappy)

So if you want harpy-like wings, I think the Dragon wings are actually pretty close. For an avariel, however, I would go with Angel or Bird.
