Shapeshift Gifts (Action Powers)

Templates for Action

Alternate Self

{{{{Template:Form (Action)}}}}

You can change into any type of creature using this power.

Instant Change

Basic Action

You can assume a mundane form (normally human) and back again. This is tied to the Mark of Power method.

Insubstantial Form

Stance

You are not fully material. Physical attacks find it very hard to do damage to you, doing damage based on the attacker's spirit rather than brute forcs. Such attacks do damage equal to the Mind of the attacker. Physical damage that is not directed by a creature, such as that caused by mechanical traps or accidents, lacks a spiritual component and does not hurt you at all.

A power such as True Earth that prevents resist powers from working also prevents Insubstantial Form from working.

This is often coupled with the Incorporeal limitation.

Mutation

Inherent

Pick one stance of the Gifts Origin. Your body mutates to accommodate this power, and it becomes inherent, always on, and a part of your body. This often changes your physical appearance and works well with the Mark of Power method.

The stance affected by Mutation is considered a Power of your Tradition even if it normally is not. If your powers fail for some reason, so does any stances maintained by Mutation; they cannot be used as ordinary stances.

You can take this power several times, each time it applies to a separate power.
