I have a character... who has yet to have a game, but who I suspect will be an utter headache when it comes to experience points. http://www.aeonsgate.com/wolfsden/cotw/rachel.html She has multiform, which in and of itself creates a headache for xp... but here is my quandry: What do I do about buying off disadvantages from the multiform? The book seems to explain how to improve a multiform in terms of powers, (put points into the multiform that the true form bought... ) but do I then have to spend point again in the secod form itself? And same question (only question) with disadvantages... Say I wanted to buy down my Berserk... would I spend the points to change the mutliform by that much, and THEN the points to buy down the Berserk, or would I spend the number of points it cost to buy down the berserk raw, as part of the true form, then buy it down on the form that has it..... or can you just not touch disadvantages in multiforms, once they are there, they are there for life? I want to figure this out now so that I am not a headache and a half for whatever GM I eventual get.... although as you can probably guess, I can be a headache and a half in many other ways.

I have read and reread multiform, and I am confused. In the desciption, it says to identify which form is you true form... okay, I follow this... It also says that the most expensive form is the one that buys the multiform... I assume (after long thought) that this means regardless of what you declare the trueform. Then we reach the line under optional limitations that says Reversion can be a advantage or a limitation depending on if you are reverting to a weaker form, or not... This is where I become confused. The most expensive form pays for multiform, so shouldn't the disadvantages and advantages be from the perspective of that form? If they are from the perspective of another form, why isn't that form paying for it? ----- Thr circumstance that is starting my confusion is that I want to create a character who is human, who can shift into a wolf, but only with great difficulty and at high endurancy cost. I do not want a wolf that can turn back into a human at high endurace cost, but it will definately be the wolf that is worth more points. So do I build the wolf with multiform, but buy all of the disadvantages from the perspective of the opposite form, which would not be buying it? That does not sound right... What am I missing?
