Does anyone else have any input?
I'm not sure if you plan on playing this or offering the choice to other people. I'll offer my opinion as if you were my gm and asked me if I wanted to play it or review it.
The first thing I noticed was dead levels, that's never a good feeling as a player.
I think it would benefit from full BAB, being a 3/4th bab class with a D8 hit die is kind of rough. I might even bump the HD up to 10. and int p/l up to 6 while dropping the strength/con increases altogether and the fort/will saves down to 3/4. It's already going to have monster saves.
The ac bonus, I wouldn't be sure when it does and doesn't apply, it could use a clause similar to that of the monk.
Target knowledge could be more interesting, why not make it key off whatever the morph mage turns into instead of just skill focus? For example if the morph mage turns into a fey let him add half his level to checks regarding fey essentially making it a floating knowledge check boost and making it much more flexible. at 8 he could gain the class skills creatures of his form have.
weapon morph intentioned should be intended. Otherwise I like this, though I might make it so range can only morph to range and melee can only morph to melee.
The level 10 power should come much sooner, otherwise you're locked out of using most of the features of this class for most of the day. Assuming you're not just using it to fight that might suck. Each burning of those increments would make me feel squeezed. As once you're out you're just a s~$+ty rogue.
I don't like enhanced body, having stat increases baked into a class feels like "Here take this bonus to scores you care about because I can't find something cool" Why not make it so you crit easier on creatures who's form you've assumed? Or if you would prefer a more espionage route, give the morph mage the ability to burn extra uses of his morph to meld two templates.
Anywho, I like the concept but I think it needs more work to be something I would be excited to implement
