Default Alternate Form Help

Hey, maybe someone can help here. Trying to find out the point cost for an ability that would allow someone to change their appearance and/or sex without affecting anything else (only human forms, gaining no special abilities and maintaining your own). This would be in a medieval fantasy setting.

When I calculate it, seems like it's going to be about 50 points. Is this correct as the changes are mostly cosmetic?

Thanks in advance,

Sounds like you don't need Alternate Form at all, only Elastic Skin (20 points) and Hermaphromorph (5 points). Unless by "appearance" you mean levels of the Appearance advantage.

Just to point out, in case it wasn't already clear: Elastic Skin, by itself, will let you disguise youself as the opposite sex. You only need Hermaphromorph if you want a functional change.

Don't forget the time requirement. Those 10 seconds can be a problem for some builds.

Both would be useful for the character.

This would be more of a, change your appearance to infiltrate, then change back once it's done, be it an info gathering mission, killing, or just seduction.

Thanks again,
