[QUOTE="Shayuri, post: 4424779, member: 4936"] Thanks for the feedback, everyone! :) Jemal in particular, that was very helpful. In fact, I'm even considering just dropping the Object Mimicry to narrow the concept a bit. Shapeshift, even with a limit, would still allow some "hybridization" if I interpret it correctly. The Shapeshift points could be allocated to traits from different creatures at the same time, as long they were all sampled. Of course, once I stopped maintaining the power, or overwrote something with something else, I'd have to scan again to get it back. I like the idea that she has an incentive to seek out good genetic traits. Since Shapeshift is sustained, every time she sleeps, the pool resets. So she has to keep going out and acquiring abilities from other creatures. Does this sound accurate to you, or do you see it working differently? At this point I just want to make sure I understand what to expect going in. I think mechanically, your suggestion is an excellent solution. :) Edit - oops, missed the regeneration comment. I've always associated regeneration with shapeshifting. For someone who can control their body to the point that they can change their organs, their bones, their physical structure, it seems like closing a wound would be pretty easy. That said, if it's a sticking point I'm not married to the idea. :) Let me know what's acceptable...what if the regeneration were tied to shapeshifting somehow? Or maybe it worked more like Healing for the self only? That is, it requires conscious effort to heal, and falling unconscious is therefore more dangerous? Just kicking ideas around. [/QUOTE]
