Re: Transmogrification (RPM)
Okay, I thought you'd need to add Altered Traits (IQ+X),and agreed to that in the other thread, but to be clear: Turning a man into a dog (or a sheep into a fox!) Adding Greater Transform Mind to Transmogrify would work?

Yes. Magical "uplifts" would require a Greater Create Mind effect with Altered Traits of IQ+X. Making a man a dog or a sheep into a fox in body and mind would be Greater Transform Body + Lesser Transform Mind.

Re: Transmogrification (RPM)
What if you dont want a baseline dog, you want say a DF (is it 5?) Hound?

Re: Transmogrification (RPM)
AFAICT that's still basic Transmogrification as long as big hounds like that are a thing in your world. If they aren't, I think you'd add energy equal to the difference in point value between one of them and the biggest, meanest dog that is a thing in that world.

Re: Transmogrification (RPM)
Well, if you're turning someone into a baseline template of whatever animal...as Transmogrification. If you're turning them into something with Human-like IQ (like Fin Raziel from Willow) I'd use a Greater Transform Mind effect. If you can make a man think he is a hawk, then you can allow the mind of a human being to remain as it is even if the body shifts. Actually uplifting is a straight on application of Altered Traits to remove whatever undesirable traits you want. So if you want to give a Dog a human like intellect add IQ till he gets to 10 and go from there. I hope that helps.

Re: Transmogrification (RPM)
I'm not sure I see how this is different from the spell I posted above, which uses altered traits to get rid of things like Quadruped and Wild Animal mentality, plus a boost in IQ, to uplift a randomly chosen animal into a humanoid TMNT-style creature, and you described as too complicated...
