Paranormal shapeshifter, Possible, yes? If so...then how...? Options Track this topic Email this topic Print this topic Download this topic Subscribe to this forum Display Modes Outline Switch to: Standard Switch to: Linear+

[Keita Haruka]

According to the Runner's Companion, any animal can have a shapeshifter variant, I therefore assume that paranormals can also have such a variant. In character creation, a set of minimum and maximum values are given, same as any other character. Problem is...in Running Wild, the stats given for paranormals simply do not fit into that framework. It also seems that paranormals come "standard" with magic, as well as a number of spells and abilities.

My question is this: if I want to use a paranormal as basis for a shapeshifter, would it be acceptable to increase their attributes beyond the "standard" as indicated in their "natural stats", and should I then "buy" the abilities and spells that they come standard with, or must I assume that it's inherant in the species and therefore it's not necessary to purchase them?

No, I'm not an experienced player. In fact, I don't play at all. I just enjoy the world and the process of creating the characters. Most of the time, I juse them in fanfiction. But...I do like to follow the rules, as it were. Just in case I do decide to one day play the characters I create.
