[GURPS Powers: Divine Favor] Druid Abilities

[ErhnamDJ]

Alternate Form

Druids can use Alternate Form to change instantly into animals. These abilities are purchased as Alternate Form (Reduced Time 4, +80%; PM, -10%) [26] plus nine-tenths of the price of the racial template. Remember that the racial templates assume a base human with ability scores of 10. You may need to adjust the racial template's price based on your purchased traits. For instance, a ST 17 druid who wishes to turn into a ST 3 falcon would reduce the price of the template by an additional seventy points after accounting for his additional seven ST. Note that some of these abilities might require expanding Divine Favor past level 18, as per Pyramid #3/50 - Dungeon Fantasy II, pushing them into history-shaping miracles!

Totally late to this party, but I have to voice my disagreement here. I use Divine Favor to represent any relatively ubiquitous third party that does supernatural stuff for a petitioner, be it a group of lesser spirits, a magical AI, or anything, really.

To echo the initial posts, though, this would have been an awesome article! I'd have bought it. And I can attest to the great help the <fnord> is in formatting and such.

Oh, also, I posted this on my blog, which I hope clears up any copyright concerns for Kuroshima.
