I think that might be pretty expensive though for one or two abilities. and you wouldn't get the full effect because you only have one form, the modular ability o think is only for shape shifters who have multiple forms.


Maybe I'm misreading it, but wouldn't modular shapeshifting allow Billy to Shift to Inhuman Recovery, then to Inhuman speed? I.e. allow him to cycle through the inhumans with only one active at a time.

Yes, but he's paying 2 refresh for the privilege. It's a much better investment for NPC monsters and true multiform shapeshifters who want to go from birds to rhinos to lions. And it normally takes an exchange to do it (though for 1-2 more Refresh I might allow someone to shift that to a Supplemental or Free Action - which only powerful PCs or NPCs could afford).

I would like to point out (Aftermath spoilers)
(click to show/hide)
We are talking about a were-rhino not a rhino. This is a supernatural being that could have supernatural toughness.

Then I would go with silver. It's a classic.

Or leave it as a +0 and make it the responsibility of the villains to research the Were-Rhino's weakness, but make it a Declaration instead of an Assessment. It could be that the character doesn't actually know its own weakness.
