How would one stat such an...alien creature?
Definitely a Changeling Shapeshifter with excessive changeling qualities that bleeds over to normal qualities, and definitely a freak even when in 'human' form, id rather say 'humanoid'. Attributes and Abilities in both forms - Setae - Shiva Arms X2 (to get the X8 Limbs - Becomes Tentacles in animal form] - Webbed hands and toes - Extravagant Eyes [Definitely nonhuman] - Natural Venom [Exhalation Spray - Ink] - Double jointed [Normal humanoids don't BEND that way...] - Water Sprite Quality - Improved Sense: Scent - Incompetence: Athletics Group on land [Slower, Weights more etc] - Brittle Bones [-2 BOD for defense against crushing damage like fists, pipes etc] Animal Form Bonuses - Gills - Boneless [Impact Armor +2] - LOG +2 - INT+2 - Underwater Vision - Raptor Beak - Cephalopoidal Skull - Land: REA / AGI Halved - Land: Treat as Seal - Sea: Treat as Seal - Reach +2 due to tentacles [Elongated Limbs X2] - Count Tentacles as "Friends in Melee" for +2D6 or -2D6 for opponent. - Dynamic Coloration - Low Light Vision [For deep sea hunting] - Flare Compensation [Ability to control amount of light the eyes absorb] EDITED: Added points Well, I even took all "animal" side bonuses and costs and halved them as they are only in use when the shifter is in animal form. - Land: REA / AGI Halved - Incompetence: Athletics Group on land [Slower, Weights more etc] - Brittle Bones [-2 BOD for damage resistance in Melee] Not sure how to stat the above negatives - Brittle bones can be a 10 point negative quality. Incompetence with a skill group could be 10 (about half since they are only negatives on land). Also halved attributes are a 20 points Final Cost: 80 BP (was 85 but I rounded down) Cost same as Bear shifter, less attributes but lots of other abilities instead. |
