SableWyvern Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 So, I've got one player in a prospective high powered FH game who's looking at playing a character with the ability to change into a dragon. Multiform is the obvious fit, and has the benefit of allowing a slightly more powerful than normal build as his dragon form (250pt game with a 60 Active Point limit gives him 300 points to play with for the dragon, which I'm happy to allow). However, he's expressed an interest in defining the dragon as his true form. If we do this by the book, the dragon form suddenly becomes limited to 250 - Multiform cost, which is a lot less useful all around. If needs be, I'd be happy enough to just ignore the rules on this matter, build the human form as the base and then fiat that, once character gen is finished, the dragon is treated as the base creature. However, before I do that, I'd be interested to hear if there is a better way of going about this, or if there are any complications I would need to be aware of in making such a ruling. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SableWyvern Posted February 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 Re: Messing about with Multiform Nevermind. The player in question has reverted to human as the base form (doesn't like the idea of being stuck in dragon form if the Multiform power is countered).

Sean Waters Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 Re: Messing about with Multiform Cool. The important thing is always balance IN YOUR GAME. If it works and doesn't tip stuff over, I'd just wave it through. Technically (and you can ignore this bit too, but it is how the rules put it) the dragon you describe needs 50 more disadvantage points than the base form to pay for being more expensive.

SableWyvern Posted February 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 Re: Messing about with Multiform Thanks (for the advice and the welcome). Yep, I noted the extra disads rule, although not until trawling through some old posts on this very forum, and plan on implementing that feature.

Dust Raven Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 Re: Messing about with Multiform Welcome Sable! While it seems your issue is resolved, I'd like to add that there really isn't a "better" way to go about the Multiform. Either way you arrange the points, the character has one form built on 250 (minus the cost of the Multiform) and one on 300. As long as you are okay with that, you might as well allow the 338 (300+38 point Multiform) point form as the base and a 190 point Multiform (what the human form would have been spending 60 points on Multiform). It's the same two character sheets either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
