Real Shapeshifting

<< < (2/3) > >>

Sanctaphrax:
Face-Shifting? Limited Shapeshifting? Cosmetic Shapeshifting?

I can think of a bunch of okay names, but no great ones. Names have never been my strong suit, as "Incite Effect" shows.

Taran:
Doppelganger?  Form Manipulation?

Edit:  why would it be worth 2 refresh? It offers no mechanical benefit.  Human Guise is 0 refresh and it does almost the same thing but you lose it when you use a power attached to the Guise.

Flesh Mask lets you hide stuff in it and it's only worth 1 refresh.

I'd make it a 1 refresh power and say it gives you a +1 to deception for some specific purpose.  Or give it some other kind of ability.

Sanctaphrax:
Who said it has no mechanical benefit?

I'm assuming it gives +4 to relevant rolls, same as True Shapeshifting and Mimic Form within its narrow domain.

Probably wouldn't break the game at 1 Refresh, honestly, but I'd prefer to play it safe.

Taran:
Ah, I misread.  I thought it was just a cosmetic change.  +4 is worth 2 refresh, especially since it has no drawback like mimic does. 

Wanderer:
Sanctaphrax is right. By its very nature, this power has to provide the same disguise benefits as True Shapeshifting, albeit limited to humanoid forms. Foolproof disguise in normal circumstances, although w/o the ability to mimic anyone specific, +4 to Deceit or Stealth rolls if you do something to cause suspicion. The other benefits are cosmetic and lifestyle ones, and hence worth no refresh points.
