Gameplay
Levels: 0, 2
Requirements: Dark Magic 3, Natural Magic 3, or Higher Power
This stat unlocks the swarm genus type for shapeshifters. This allows shifters 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.
Tiny creatures are a swarm of 16 individuals.
Small creatures are a swarm of 8 individuals.
Small-Medium creatures are a swarm of 4 individuals.
Medium creatures are a swarm of 2 individuals.
Man-sized or larger creatures are a single individual.
