Shapeshifting and Skill Levels -- points spent on a skill in each form

Yes, that's exactly how I'd do it. The player paid a total of 35 points for ST; -10 points all the time plus 45 points "Only in Bear form". That adds up to 35 points total in bear form.

By the RAW personal abilities carry over into alternate forms; that includes attributes, skills, advantages, and disadvantages. If you have a weak Human form you also have a weak Bear form (weak for a Bear, anyways; ST 17 is still hella strong).
