[QUOTE="Zack2216, post: 1072246, member: 2369"] Tell me if I have over looked something, k? I think that a (house) rule should be put on alternate form. That you shouldn't be able to turn into forms that have ranks in alternate form. Why? Because it can be infinite (and will be unless capped off somehow). With Full powered AF, you gain an extra 10 cp do do what you want with, right? You assume a new form, spending 9 of those points on low power AF (the one that costs 3 cp per rank). You assume a new form, except you have 30 cp to do what you want with. Spend 10 on your stats, and the rest on alternate form. Now you have level 6, with 60 points to do what you want with. Continue this process, and you can have a god character at level 1 if he says "screw my stats, I am getting full powered AF." Of course, I could be wrong, and hope I am. It doesn't say that there is a cap on how many ranks you can have in a skill unless the dm puts one there (or was it the other way around?). Even then, level 10 alternate form at level 1 can be potent, considering there is no duration, energy cost, and the character can set up god mode at the beginning of every day. When I start using the system, I will incorperate this houserule, just in case any of the other players start thinking about it, but won't tell them about it until they actually make the discovery (right now they don't have the book, and I doubt that they have found the SRD).
