Giant is actually a +0, the only Trait they would gain is Darkvision.The Enhancements poorly listed in my last post are examples. The MP cost of those Enhancements are a 'dammit, what did I write down on Saturday night for this?' <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=":)" />Two reasons for wanting to codify a list instead of just saying "Use UK's CR":A] UK's system is atomized to such a degree that the difference between gaining Flight {Average} and Flight {Perfect} is 0.4 points. Given a rounding up of MP costs, why would a player ever chose Flight {Average}?B] Each list of Enhancements can be tailored to the representative abilities of a forms type. In this manner, we can provide a semblence of balance between lists. Otherwize, why take anything other than Transform [Outsider] and [Dragon]? These two lists would provide virtually every option available.Example.. ..um.. please remember this is still in draft form <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=":)" />Melee Monster Magic, as cast by a 6th level caster: 6MP Transform [Giant]    You gain two natural Claw attacks that are oversized and the Rend ability with those Claws. These Claws deal 2D6+Str Mod in damage. {Size Huge}You also gain 3 points of Natural Armor. {2 + 1/4 of 6}You also gain Darkvision {60'} and Giant Blood.===And like I said, I am posting this before I get too far down this path and want to know if the concept of using CL like this should be abandoned.</blockquote>
