For example. I decide I'm going to have two wolf forms.

wolf [10]:
quadreped [-35], Enhanced Move 1 [20], teeth [3], fur [1], discriminating smell [15], acute smell 3 [6]

wolf man [35]:
Enhanced Move .5 [10], teeth [3], fur [1], discriminating smell [15], acute smell 3 [6]

You pay 15 points for each form, plus 90% of the highest form, with is the wolfman: [32] points. This is a total of 62 points.

A kind GM may say that since the wolf is just an extension of the wolf man, its an alternate ability (as per powers) and thus you only pay 15/5 = 3 for it, and the whole thing only is worth [50]. But that's a GM call.

Note: Yes, these are simplified, of course. And the value for teeth may be off, and there is no attribute change. But this is just a demonstration.

Is this on top of my 100-150CP cap? So - i have my Human form CP costs, with Skills and attributes, and then I have two Racial templates for Wolf and wolfman form? Do I keep my Attribute stats (ST, DX, IQ, HT, etc..) of my human character sheet?

thanks

That depends on your GM, but most likely it is not. As the racial template of a humans does exactly nothing, everything from your human form is personal and you keep it in all forms, unless specifically removed by the new forms.

So - do I include the CP cost of my shape-shifted form in the total CP used? For example, if I create a SabreTooth Tiger Man template and it comes out to be 20CP, I would only have 130CP left over to create my Human character?

If the template is 20CP, the alternate form would be 15+ 0.9 * 20 or 33CP. If the limit is 150CP, you'd have 117CP left for the human character. Or that's how I would do it as a GM.

Thanks for helping me with the math, and showing the example...
