[QUOTE="Scion, post: 1724666, member: 5777"] 3 uses per day. "Each time you change your form, such as through the metamorphosis power, you gain one of the new form’s supernatural abilities, if it has any." Ok, good enough, you are treated as having whichever (Su) ability you like that it has when you change into a form. "You gain only three uses of the metamorphic ability per day, even if the creature into which you metamorph has a higher limit on uses (You are still subject to other restrictions on the use of the ability.)" However, even though you have access to the ability this feat still puts limits on it. You only gain 3 total uses per day of the metamorphic ability (ie metamorphic transfer). So you may use any different (Su) abilities but only for a total between them all of 3 times per day. Sortof like your character currently has an ability that states something like, 'whenever you are in a form other than your own which has a supernatural ability this ability duplicates its effects. You may only duplicate effects of supernatural abilities 3 times per day.' The last line can still be read in a choppy fashion, which is where the problem comes in because english isnt always the easiest language to use. "No matter how many times you manifest the metamorphosis power on a given day, you can gain only a total of three supernatural ability transfers per day." This is the people who write the errata trying to make the feat even clearer, although personally I thought it was fine before so long as people didnt try to read it in a strange way ;) Seems pretty cut and dry, especially with the errata tossed in.
