Polymorph
Polymorph is the ability to change the character, an ally, or an opponent into a shape of the user's choosing (from the shapes pre-chosen by the character based on degree). The character or the chosen person becomes that race as far as flying, talons, thick hide, gills, etc, but does not gain any special abilities of that race. The race morphed into must be of the same size as the one they came from, plus or minus one body size per degree after first.
If a character uses this power on others, the unwilling defenders roll their personal defense. The effect duration is one hour or until the caster returns them to their normal form. For unwilling participants, it is one round per level of the caster up to a maximum of one hour.
Maintaining the effect costs a passive action.
Shapeshifting
Shapeshifting is like polymorph except that only one shape can be shifted into and possibly a hybrid between the two shapes. Unlike polymorph, all of the skills of the new shape are received as part of the mutation.
