The Shapeshifting skill governs use of talismans, items that change your form. Higher Shapeshifting will reduce HP penalties and increase form bonuses.

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.
