If you're going for the cookie cutter shapeshifter then Far as the focuses that's going to be up to you. If you want to explore
I'd say go for a gnome. They have a decent con, get loads
of practices each rank, are smart and a all around decent fellows.
You'll have trouble with being bashed etc until you get your forms
unless they changed it. Far as I know races still don't retain their
vulnerabilities in form.
then probably air major if you're set on shifting. Defensive forms are all
around good choices. The offensive shapes aren't too bad as they do quite a bit
of damage, but take their share as well. The best advice is to talk to some
of the higher ranked muters and see what forms they have. At least a few should
be willing to talk, though I've run across my share who figure they shouldn't talk
about it. I don't think water is a good choice unless you have a specific reason in
mind. Good luck. They're fun once you get to shift, but until then aren't exactly
the most active of classes in combat.
