Beasthide Elite

Your hide grows tougher, making you even harder to wound while transformed.

Prerequisite: Beasthide Shifter, level 5

Benefits:

• While shifting, your AC bonus from being Beasthide increases to +2.
• When you shift, you gain temporary hit points equal to your level + your Constitution modifier. These temporary hit points expire when your shifting ends.

Healing Factor

Your body recovers from injury with supernatural speed once your transformation ends.

Prerequisites: Shifter, Constitution 13.

Benefits:

• Increase your Constitution score by 1, to a maximum of 20.

• When your shifting ends, you regain hit points equal to your level + your Constitution modifier (minimum of 1). You can benefit from this healing only once per short rest.

Longtooth Elite

Your fangs strike deeper and deadlier, honed by countless hunts.

Prerequisites: Longtooth shifter, level 5

Benefits: While shifting, the unarmed strike you can make with your fangs does piercing damage equal to 1d8 + your Strength modifier.

Shifter Acrobatics

Your natural agility sharpens when you embrace your shifting heritage, granting you superior balance and movement.

Prerequisites: Shifter, Acrobatics proficiency

Benefits: While you are shifting,

• You have advantage on Dexterity (Athletics) and Dexterity (Acrobatics) checks. You can choose to make any Athletics check with Dexterity in place of Strength.

• You can move across narrow ledges or unstable surfaces without needing to make a check unless otherwise ruled by the DM.

Shifter Agility

Your reflexes become razor-sharp in the heat of the moment.

Prerequisites: Shifter, Dexterity 13

Benefits: While shifting,

• You can take the Dodge action as a bonus action.

• If you succeed on a Dexterity saving throw, you can move up to 10 feet without provoking opportunity attacks.

Shifter Ferocity

Even on the edge of death, you fight with relentless tenacity.

Prerequisites: Shifter, Constitution 13

Benefits: While shifting,

• When a creature hits you with a melee weapon attack or unarmed strike, you can use your reaction to make a melee weapon attack against that creature with advantage. You can do this once per shift.

• When you would be reduced to 0 Hit Points but not immediately killed, you avoid becoming unconscious and dying. You instead recover 1 Hit Point. You must complete a long rest before you can use this ability again.

Shifter Stealth

Your natural agility sharpens when you embrace your shifting heritage, granting you superior balance and movement.

Prerequisites: Shifter, Stealth proficiency

Benefits:

• While you are shifting, you have advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks.

• While you are shifting, you can attempt to hide even when you are only lightly obscured by foliage, heavy rain, falling snow, mist, and other natural phenomena.

Swiftstride Elite

Your movements become a blur, whether charging into battle or slipping away from danger.

Prerequisite: Swiftstride shifter, level 5

Benefits: While you are shifting,

• Your walking speed increases to 55 feet.

• The first opportunity attack you provoke during your turn automatically misses.

Wildbound Intuition

Your instincts are sharp and your senses trained. Whether stalking a quarry or anticipating an ambush, you react before others even know the danger’s there.

Prerequisites: Orc, half-orc, or Shifter; Wisdom 13

Benefits:

• Increase your Dexterity or Wisdom score by 1, to a maximum of 20.

• When you roll initiative, you can add your Wisdom modifier to the roll.

• You can't be surprised while you are conscious.

Wildhunt Elite

Your senses sharpen beyond mortal limits, attuned to every sound and subtle movement.

Prerequisite: Wildhunt shifter, level 5

Benefits: While you are shifting, you gain a sense of smell the equal of any wolf or mountain lion. This grants you the following benefits:

• You have advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks made to detect creatures within 60 feet of you, even if they are invisible, hidden, obscured by darkness, or behind total cover.

• You can attempt Wisdom (Survival) checks to track creatures by scent alone, even in the absence of visible tracks, so long as they have been in the area within the past hour.

• You can detect the presence of creatures within 15 feet of you by smell, even if they are unseen or silent. This doesn’t reveal their precise location.

Creatures that do not have a discernible scent (e.g., constructs and elementals) may not be detectable this way, at the DM's discretion.
