When in the heat of battle after taking so much punishment (and remember HP doesn't respresent only physical damage so stabity stabity stabity doesn't always need to be required) and getting worked up, their inner beast comes out more and their abilities are enchanced. Just think Incredible Hulk.  Party comes up to near impossible cliff to climb and brief discussion about how they can't get past it. Shifter in party says he can climb up there with a robe but one of you is going to have to get him angry. So the party members do what they can to get the shifter angry, yell at him, slap him, kick him in the nuts, insult him. The gamers can have fun and roleply it out or the DM can just jump straight to it and say the Shiter is now bloodied and he can use his shifting power. No dice rolls needed.  After the party gets to the top and takes a rest the shifter cools down and returns to normal and can spend his healing surges to get himself back to max HP.  Works for me mecanically and flavor wise.</blockquote>
