I heard a shapeshifter can wear armor in Tob.
What kind of armour can he wear?

@Stilgar, I've deleted an identical post to this which you placed in the SoA category. Please don't double post threads. If you want answers, just choose one category, and knowledgable forum members will reply. Thanks.

Hey, well, I am currently playing a shapeshifter.. and believe me, somehow (a bug, I think) we can wear Black/Shadow Dragon scales (I forgotten the name! hehe).. and apparently some other scales too.

You can wear Shadow Dragon and White Dragon scale armour.

When wearing one of the magical armors, you loose the benefit of Rings and Cloaks of Protection. And since you do most of your fighting in shapeshift form...

Actually, not really. I am still playing with my Shapeshifter (SS) in WK 5 (just got Sendai and Abi to go)... and I mostly fight in my natural form. I know I know.. it's pointless to do that if I am a SS and I might as well be a fighter.. but I dunno... Greater WWW sucks after SoA.. and my elemental trans (ie. Earth) is GOOD.. but I cant cast magic and cant heal myself (and others) with spells. I mean, put it this way:
Shapeshifted (either Fire or Earth):
AC (well, this is MY AC after armour and stuff.. no spells): -13 (or -14 ish)
Thac0 (this was at around level 18-20): 5-6 (??, can't remember!.. possibly 3)
Cant spellcast
Natural Form:
AC (at level 23 now): -11 !!!! (this my my highest so far w/o spells)
Thaco: -3 (easily.. and without and Gloves of Weapon skill even!)
Spell casts
***
The only bad thing in natural form.. is that u attack only once.
Ok, I think I went a little off topic here (duh), but I just wanted to point out that wearing the Shadow or White Dragon scales IS useful... and in my case, it's a must! haha

Shapeshifters wearing the White Dragon and Shadow Dragon scale armours was confirmed with BioWare as a bug unfortunately.

Although a bug, that doesnt mean we cant use it eh? hehe
Anyway, just a small update. Level 24 SS.. Thaco of -5!!! And my Minsc (level 24 ish) is also thaco -7 ish!!!
