Daily - Extended Action
Effect: You are filled with an indescribable hunger that never goes away and a keen predatory instinct. When you strike a target and kill it, you may devour the corpse as an Extended Action. This can take anywhere from 10 minutes for a Small creature to an hour for Gigantic ones. Once you have fully eaten a corpse, look at the target’s highest Base Stat - you gain a permanent +1 to that Base Stat of your own. You can target any corpse with this Feature, but it cannot have died more than an hour ago. You cannot go over +10 to any Base Stat.
Special: You learn the move Transform, but its Range is Melee, 1 Target.

You also have perfect clarity of the previous hour of the target’s life before they died.
Special: Instead of gaining a permanent +1 to a Base Stat when devouring someone, you may instead look at their highest Skill Rank and gain a +1 to that Skill, up to +6.

The player, within reason. As long as it fits the weapon, IMO.
