Meta Shifting


Levels: 0, 4

Requirements: Fae Knight Focus 4 or Primal Focus 2

This stat conveys the ability for people to have access to some of the
powers and strengths of their animal form while in human shape.
Metashifters are also often mildly physically influenced and moderately
psychologically influenced by their primary animal form. While this won't
extend to developing non human physical characteristics it may mean their
hair color matches the fur color of their animal form, or that it grows
faster or hardier. It's also likely to affect the way they move or carry
themselves. Psychologically they're likely to adapt similar patterns to
their animal form when it comes to base instincts like aggression, diet or
sex. Carniviorous metashifters may develop a taste for heavily meat based
diets and rawer meats, they'd also prone to violence and stalking.
Metashifters whose animal forms have mating cycles will find themselves
influenced by those same cycles and so on. It's very common for predatory
metashifters to have a history of violent crime.

This skill grants: Your animal's acrobatics skill, their acute senses, their
nightvision, half their running, half their strength/power, half their
dexterity, half their ranged defense, half their perception, half their
stealth, half their power as melee specialization.

Note: Meta shifting's benefits will only draw from your primary form. This
will be your wolf form if you are a werewolf, or your main form if you are
another type of shapeshifter.
