Re: Metamorphosis
Personally I would let the player eat a tin can as a goat, but when they went back to normal they would be in a world of hurt. This is something that can be done using both methods.
The problem when you go too far down this road is determining what it means to Shapeshift. A player that shape shifts into a bird wants to fly, but doesn’t want to be killed with a single shot from a BB gun.
It gets too messy. When I Shapeshift I want to look and feel like the object, say a chair, but not be dismembered by a single hatch blow. When I Shapeshift into a dog, I don’t want a whole character sheet that includes powers granting me the ability to speak, I want to look, feel, and smell like a dog – but not actually be one.
