Small shape-shifting question
« on: April 22, 2010, 05:55:35 PM »
How is shape-shifting done in terms of mechanics?  If you want to use your beast change power to change into your wolf form, does it take a full action, supplemental action, or is it handled differently?  Does it require a skill check to use?

I'd *probably* call it supplemental, given the speed with which we've seen it described in the novels.

I'm still amazed by how involved you guys are in helping us players out with the game.  Thank you.

The description of Modular Abilities says it's a full action. True Shapeshifting say it's a supplemental action. I don't know if the difference between them is intentional.

Likely so. :)
