I'd say that most disadvantages are either situational or triggered rather than constant.

The piece you're missing is that the monster you turn into is acting against your interests. If you like, you can think of the disadvantage we're proposing as a cross between Epilepsy and Enemy. The personal risk is (somewhat) less than with those disadvantages but you are a risk to everyone around you.

The only way the beast can be used as an advantage is if you are nasty enough to put yourself in the way so that your enemy is in the beast's past when you change.

Sorry typo, I meant to say Disadvantage. I'll change it in the previous post.

You're welcome. Remember the caveat in the text... It wasn't playtested. I haven't used it either, but the concept looks sound. Assuming a hypothetical AF comes out as a negative point trait, so long as you (the GM) make sure that it remains an overall disadvantage, you should be OK.

I guess I'll be one of the ones to playtest it then! Fingers-crossed!

Let us know how it goes. I for one would like to hear about it.
