Shapeshifter

Shapeshifters have a stronger connection to their animal spirit, whether through ancestry or practice, and can call upon their inner animal for strength in battle.

Background Abilities

Shapeshifters have natural armor which provides +1 soak.
When a Shapeshifter would be incapacitated due to exceeding their strain threshold or wound threshold their animal spirit takes over and they shift into the natural form of their animal type. While in animal form, your character's brawn and agility increase by 1 to a maximum of 5; their intellect and willpower are reduced by 1 to a minimum of 1; they gain +5 wound threshold (if they are still exceeding wound threshold, they will be incapacitated at the end of their next turn and revert back to their original form they heal all strain (when first triggered and their unarmed attacks reduce crit rating by 1. Shapeshifters may make a hard Dicipline check to trigger or avoid triggering Shapeshift.
