 Shapeshifters have a tremendous amount of versatility due to the fact that changing their shape also changes their capabilities. In some ways, playing a shapeshifter is like playing two different characters that tag-team the game, which is a bit more complex than playing a standard character with more static abilities. If the complexity doesn't bother you, however, it can be a lot of fun. Shapeshifters have a tremendous amount of versatility due to the fact that changing their shape also changes their capabilities.
