You need to purchase the 'Traits' before you can buy additional enhancements. You can only do a partial transform of one type. A key principle I am considering is using CL as a base to calculate various aspects. Using the natural weapon damage table from UC's system, the average damage is the minimum CL for creating an effect of that size.[Giant]  - Traits 1MP - Powerful Build {per Half-Giant}  - Regeneration ....Reduction of this cost by 1MP for each element that can bypass it - Natural Attack  ....Rend, requires 2 Claw attacks, 1MP - Natural Armor {Skin and/or Fur}====Enhancements: Natural Attack Base 1MP..One of your limbs transforms into a natural weapon. It deals damage based on your CL, {see Upper Crusts table for weapon damage}....+1MP for Claw, weapon is considered one size bigger for damage. Natural Armor  Skin 1MP, grants 1 + 1/8th CL  Fur/Bone, 2 MP, Grants 2 + 1/4 CL  Scales, 3MP, grants 3 + 1/2CL  Carapace, 4 MP, grants 4 + CL. Treated as wearing medium armor.  Construct/Stoneskin, 5MP, grants 5 + CL. etc..  this is mainly from my head as I have yet to write much down.What do y'all think about using CL in this manner? Each [Creature] type would have access to different enhancements, an would have a higher cost based on breadth of capabilities.We would need to codify the various enhancements that characters would tend to use.In a semi related note, MOVE [AIR].. what manueverability rating does this grant?..I ask because with Transform [Elemental-air] you get a Perfect rating. With other modes of flight, your rating will be based on your size {starting at Perfect for Tiny and stepping down a rating every 2 sizes larger} Trying to ensure that Transform [Outsider] wont step on the Move [AIR] too much <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Thanks!.. and now its time for me to get back to work..I mena the stuff I get paid for <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />BTW, Welcome Back RW, hope your weekend off was enjoyable!</blockquote>
