[QUOTE="Primitive Screwhead, post: 2264225, member: 20805"] [b]Draft thoughts..[/b] Been thinking about this for a bit, and came up with the following concept: Partial Transform, MP cost based on type. Benefit, you gain the type of the creature {therefore its Traits} and can select, for additional MP, abilities common to that type of creature. {some Types cost more than others due to versatility or power equivilent} Your physical appearance alters noticably in reflection of the type chosen and the abilities selected. Giant: Cost 1MP STR Increase as Infuse:Earth chart Enlarge, as table for getting bigger Regenerate +1 mp per level of Regen Dragon: Cost 3MP Breath Weapon +2 MP per age category {your size defines the area of the attack} {example, 5MP to gain Black Dragons Breath Attack grants a medium caster a 60' line of acid that deals 2d4 points of damage that can be used once every 1d4 rounds. This is roughly equivilent to a 6MP Enduring Evoke:Acid } Dragon Flight. +3 MP per 50' of Fly speed up to 200 etc... This would have to be a major project in balancing the various aspects so that Transform does not trump the other lists. One of the advantages of using Transform is that you can avoid using multiple lists to gain similar effects. {the MP costs above are literally off the top of my head.... :) } [/QUOTE]
