I was looking at creating a shapeshifter, but aside from the info not being very well organized, it seems like a badly gimped character concept.
The best form is the animal form, but without regeneration or armor, you can never get into a fight. So that's out. You get some powers, but nothing that can't be gotten cheaply by a phys-ad, some cyber-ware, or a couple of spells. So, some roll playing fun, but at a huge cost. Maybe fun for a solo campaign, but not as a member of a team of shadowrunners. Or am I missing something? |
