Focus Question

[mobulis]

Under invisibility it states that an obvious focus is not covered by the invisibility, what is the effect with shape change? 

[Steve Long]

Assuming by “shape change” you mean the Power Shape Shift, the text discussing that Power in 6E1 points out that it “allows a character to change his form, but not his powers or abilities.” Therefore as a default it has no effect on a character’s Foci (or equipment in general), since they’re powers/abilities in the broad sense referred to in the text. But of course the GM’s free to rule otherwise if that seems appropriate, or he could create a +5 Character Point Adder, Affects Equipment, for characters who want to be able to do that.

 

Assuming by “shape change” you mean the Power Multiform, it specifically does allow a character to change powers and abilities, so it could affect a character’s Foci/equipment.
