So, my player wants to play a snake (anaconda) magician shifter.
I've decided that the Anaconda BP cost will be 80.
In the Players companion it says that "Shapeshifters retain all of their powers and weaknesses in
shifted human form except for their Natural Weapon." Does that mean she retains her physical attributes as an anaconda? I presume not? If not, does she have to spend attributes on both the human and the shifter form (like you had to in SR3)? Or does she simply take the difference in bonus away (i.e. as an anaconda she has 11 strength (bought 5 points) but in human form she has 6 strength)?
Also a shifter starts with Magic 1, as she is taking the Magician quality does that give her an additional 1 magic?? (as they also start at 1?)
Thanks again in advance, your help is greatly appreciated.
