I was digging through the code to fix some crashing issues involved with Shifter, and since I was knee deep in it set out to revamp it from the ground up.
All shifters will have to have a mandated rebuild. As long as your rebuild is still primarily shifter we will allow you a free rebuild into a new fitting build. One exception, which will require a request so we can work out the details is if you wish to rebuild out of BG/PM/RDD that is on your shifter.
When is this expected to release? Well as of this post all of the hak work, code work, and other stuff is finished. We still need to test, break, and tweak stuff before public release. I wanted to release this now for two reasons. So we don't just spring this upon everyone, and also so I can get more feed back.

ALL FORMS WILL BE SET TO INFINITE USES.
Shifter spell DC will scale based off spells properly. It will still be Shifter + Druid level for CL calculations.
All Monk AC/UAB effects disabled while polymorphed.
Shifter AC progression will also be adjusted with the new level spread in mind.
Shifter ONLY spell changes
Manticore Spikes has been updated to a max of 10 spikes, instead of 5.
Storm of Vengeance will have a 5 rounds cool down.
Phantasmal Killer DC fixed for Slaad form. 10 (Base) + 4 (Spell Level) + Wisdom Mod + 6 (Epic Spell Focus).
Gate now only summons the CE version, and the CL scales properly based off Shifter + Druid.
