Hi everyone,

Looking for some help. Going to be starting a campaign soon but one of my players would like to be a Snake shapeshifter. Unfortunately, there are no such rules for a Snakeshifter and I am wondering if anyone else has come up with a BP cost with a list of attribute limits and powers?

General powers would be perhaps:

Enhanced Senses: Thermographic Vision, Low light Vision, Heat Sense?, Smell

Now onto specifics:

Constrictor:
Attributes as Bear?

Huge: Articulated Python (up to 8m, 150kg).
Movement base speed of 1/4 its length in m per combat turn (2m), but can strike up to 3/4 its body length away (6m)... aka reach 6???
Engulf: As Water but DV= Str/2+3. Escape with Str + Body vs same (very very difficult to escape... only trolls will stand a chance really)... which is about right.
Climbing always counts as assisted.

Pros: Amazing reach and engulf is almost impossible to break
Cons: Massively visible and slow moving. Will need skill in stealth based skills to get within strike range of target.

Medium:
TBC

Beware of action movies. Action movie survivalist heros tend to bite the heads off snakes and eat them raw, just to show how tough they are.

Would that be worth a phobia?

Awesome thanks!

Thermosense organ is a given, vision modes doesn't make much sense snakes use scent as their primary sense.
