If the forms all had 0 or negative point totals would you feel differently? |

Re: Maximum Duration Limitation on Alternate Form or Morph, abusive?
While mutually AAing AFs indeed looks questionable, I wonder if there is anything wrong with making AF an AA of Morph, or making Morph the AA of AF. I suppose it's okay, but I'm not sure enough without Kromm's backing.

I can see someone (human) saying 'It would be cooler to be able to turn into a bear if I couldn't also turn into a dragon'. Not so easy to see 'It would be cooler to turn into a squirrel if I couldn't also turn into a trout.' |

Take the OP. If you were an elemental being who can take the form of any element? They are all 15 point advantages as they all are roughly equally powerful. Quote:

They are all useful but not being able to turn into all each of them after the first is likely less and less useful. |

Re: Maximum Duration Limitation on Alternate Form or Morph, abusive?
If your base form isn't your strongest form, you've got a strongest form that you pay a bunch for, and other forms that you pay less for because they're cheaper alternatives.
If your base form is your strongest form, then every alternate form is a cheaper alternative to that base form. The first one doesn't cost more than the others because you're giving up your natural racial template to use it. |
