Strategy
- Most forms boost Unarmed Combat in some way.
- The biggest jump is going from "not being in a form" to "being in a form". If you plan on going Shapeshifting, it can be wise to train Shapeshifting skill exclusively, until you reach an acceptable skill for a given form.
- With the "average" species, Human, having -1 Shapeshifting, don't be afraid to train a negative Shapeshifting aptitude.
