Swarm Shifting

Requirements:/span>to turn into a group of animals, with larger groups necessitating a smaller
size of individual creature. Swarm shifters can never take more damage in one
hit than a proportion equivalent to their remaining number. So if you have
five animals in your swarm, you cannot take more than 1/5th of your life in a
single hit.

As a trade-off, however, your damage is also reduced by the proportion of your
remaining defence. For example, if you have 25/100 DF, you will deal 25% of
your normal damage, whereas if you have 10/200 DF, you will deal 5% of your
normal damage.

This also gives +5 to animal shapeshifting pools, to a minimum of 15.
