Alternate Self

Limit Beak

You assume the form of another creature. You must build a variant for for yourself using your normal points and limits. This can be any type of creature. You cannot automatically change back - you must either take this power for your new form or break the transformation as if it was a Curse. Your alternate self becomes your natural form, and cannot be detected as a shapeshift except with very close study, powers notwithstanding.

You can learn this power several times to learn to transform into several different kinds of creatures. There is a limit on what forms you can assume if you use an ability that lets you temporarily learn new powers, such as Form Mastery or Spell preparation. Each time you temporarily gain this power, you transform into the same type of creature.

Fairy Cloak

Basic Action

You can isolate all your supernatural abilities and shape them into an item, commonly a piece of clothing such as a shawl. This object is created out of nowhere and appears as an extraordinary item of its kind. It merges with your body when you transform back again. In order to turn back into your fairy form, you need this item.

When you drop this item, you assume a mundane form. The mundane form is normally human, but can be any Folk or a normal Animal. In this form, you have normal attribute maxima of your race, and you lose all powers. It is not possible to detect your lost powers or gifted nature when you are in this form; they simply are not present to be detected.

Stolen Shape

Basic Action

You can imitate a creature whose True Name you know, becoming that creature. You use that creatures attributes and schticks in place of your own, but continue to use your own skills. You can resume your own shape as a Basic Action. If you use this to impersonate the creature whose form you stole, that is a Charm stunt.

It takes an Impress roll against the creature's Dodge or Impress to assume the creature's form. You do not have access to the imitated creatures memories, and if the creature assumes control it suffers from Amnesia and only has confused memory-images to go on, both from your memories and from the form it has.
