[QUOTE="Nyeshet, post: 3083549, member: 18363"] [b][i]Five or Six Forms!?![/i][/b] Where in the world did they get [i]that[/i] idea?! In the movie she is human or other or in the process of shifting between the two. The only other examples of Species we saw was the rat-version and a "pure" version - which was sort of like applying the psuedonatural template to an Ooze (blob-like indistinct form with some trailing tentacles, as I recall). In the second movie we basically see a male form of the Species, and we see what looks like a second type of coccoon towards the end - if I am recalling it correctly. The two were in some type of coccoon as they mated - perhaps a type of temporary 'nest'? Did the book describe the other forms? Were they intermediate human / other forms, perhaps (what d20 refers to as 'hybrid' forms for lycans)? What was the title of the book? It is unlikely I'll find it, but I am curious as to the set up. You said it was mostly major ability score boosts, high level of physical (Str / Dex) and intuitive / survival (Wis) skills with low level in Int / Cha skills? (Hmm, she would have to have at least [i]some[/i] ranks in whatever skill was used for 'Persuasion' I imagine.) What about special abilities? Did they give her 'other' form(s) any 'spider climb' type ability such as she displayed at the end of the movie? What about the 1-4 tentacles with 10-15 ft reach? [/QUOTE]
