[QUOTE="Zhure, post: 1520216, member: 308"] "Each time you change your form, such as through the metamorphasis power, you gain one of the new form's supernatural abilities, if it has any." Thus, you can pick one supernatural ability per form that you might use. A medusa has only one supernatural ability, its gaze. "You gain only three uses of the metamorphic ability per day, even if the creature into which you metamorph has a higher limit on uses." Limited to three times per day. Sentence 1 says you gain them each time you change form; sentence 2 says only three per day. Two logical extrapolations exist: 1- you can change into a creature and gain a single supernatural ability, but can only use it 3 times, then you can metamorph again, and gain it three more times. or 2- you can only use this feat for three uses per day. I know which way makes far more sense from a balance perspective and as extrapolated from similar epic abilities (for the shifter) and the feat from Savage Species, which works an unlimited time per day but only with one form-specific Su ability. Clearly answer two makes more sense. It could be argued that the first interpretation is not only far more liberal but far more powerful. Picking an interpretation that is the most abusive then declaring the feat abusive based on that interpretation is probably faulty logic. Greg [/QUOTE]
