[QUOTE="Alex Bates, post: 7111035, member: 6881596"] This part of the feat is generally unimportant and i didn't overly think it through ~ the part will have plenty of strength in it so it probably takes away from them.. At the same time i am probably under valuing the ability to change form, but as it is purely cosmetic i haven't really concerned my self much over that fact.
