Only in Hero ID and Distinctive Features

A Were-Wolf that keeps his personality, skills, and knowledge in wolf form. Sound more like Only in Hero ID, more them multi-form to me. So going with that how would you do the Distinctive Features (Were-Wolf)? Would you just apply them the same -1/4 Disadvantage as powers? Thus decreasing the value of the disadvantage? I can't find anything in the FAQ or the book to handle this. Thoughts?

[McCoy]

Is there anything in his non-wolf ID that says "wolf?" Is the change nder his control? If no and yes respectively, I would say the Distinctive features are concealable, and take the base 5 pts.

If he has accidental change, or sharp teeth and hairy pointed ears in both forms, I would say concealable with effort, 10 pts.

Presume he has a Secret ID?

[Killer Shrike]

You can do it either way, but 5th Edition likes Disadvantages in increments of 5. I routinely use OIHID on Disadvantages when it makes sense to do so however.

[Hugh Neilson]

I don't see anything wrong with disadvantages taking a limitation where appropriate, and OIHID seems like a reasonable one.

Obviously, a Secret ID that acts on an 11 or less isn't going to make any sense, but some limitations fit some disadvantages quite nicely.

Thanks for the input guys.

I'd just reduce the frequency, yeah ... make it Easily Concealable or Concealable With Effort, based on how well he can control his transformations (any Accidental Change?).

[Demonsong]

Accedential change in to were-wolf form: Yes 2 of them,

-Extreme Stress 8-
-Takes Body Damage 14-

[CrosshairCollie]

I'd probably give him Difficult to Conceal on those, given how easy either of those could come up.
