[QUOTE="Rystil Arden, post: 2983086, member: 29014"] Oops, thanks for picking up on the Astral Construct! As for Embracing the Taint, I'm 98% sure that it isn't a prerequisite--those two are parallel choices. If you want to keep your bite or natural armour, you take Embracing and get a +4 to Disguise, and if you don't mind losing all those transforms (or never gaining them), you take Becoming. At least that's how I read it. That said, it wouldn't be unreasonable to enforce the prereq if you wanted, I guess. For the last thing--I totally agree that yours is a possible and equally viable reading, that's why I asked. On second thought, I should have asked much more insistently since I knew you were busy at the time, so I'd like to apologise for not doing that. My reading was that he could pass for any sort of human (or elf if I had picked that one), possibly because the Taint suffusing through him changes his body to make it seem correct, but I totally understand the 'pick one' reading too, and I'm happy to take that also, no problem. Since Ssiran does not have the Disguise skill, his plan was not to come if that reading wasn't correct (which is one reason why he originally was going with Thunder). Can I retcon him as staying with the thunder, then, though? Congrats on the new job! :) [/QUOTE]
