Shape Change

This ability is one of the more powerful of innate abilities. As this power allows the wielder to radically alter the shape and appearance of his or her body, this ability is particularly useful for covert operations.  This ability does have limits, however. To be able to shapechange, the wielder must carefully study the form of the shape for at least three hours to fully place the body parameters in memory. Moreover, at the standard intensity, the wielder can never have more than four shapes memorized. Adding new ones will require that old shape memories be sacrificed. At intensity two, the wielder can assume the form of any mammal, while at higher intensities the wielder can memorize more forms and take on reptilian or avian forms as well. It should be known, however, that no matter what shape the wielder assumes, his or her eye colour stays constant. This is one limitation of the ability that cannot be overcome by any means.  At all intensities, the power lasts until the wielder falls asleep, loses more than 75% of normal hit points, or has his true name spoken within range of hearing.

• Intensity 1: The wielder can take on any mammalian form but this form cannot be greater than 50% difference in mass. The wielder can hold three forms in memory.
• Intensity 2: The wielder can take on the form of any mammalian form within a mass parameter of 5% to 200%. The wielder can hold four forms in memory.
• Intensity 3: The wielder can take on any animal form so long as the mass is 5% to 300% of his mass. The wielder can hold five forms in memory.
• Intensity 4: The wielder can take on the form of any plant or animal and has a mass parameter 5% to 500%. The wielder can hold six forms in memory.
