ITS VOLUNTARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Meaning that the Sam you turned into a Tuna had to WANT to be Charlie the tuna.
Now also remember that the person keeps their intelligence.
Now TRANSFORM is a different matter - and is also the one I would limit to
+/- 2 from body. With this spell you CAN change the Sam into Charlie the tuna
(tuna's are big) - and he will BE Charlie the tuna - he will loose intellignece
and the whole nine yards.
Now one question that might come up is 'Whats the difference? They both got the
same drain code'. Shapechange is voluntary - this lowers the code. To off set
this you get to increase Physical Attributes by 1 for every two successes.
Now then I suggest that you limit Transform to +/- 2 body. I would not limit
Shapechange in this way since you can raise the things body in which you change
buy getting extra successes. But as a GM I say 'Keep it in reason' - if you
want rules say +/- 4 from body. That allows Trolls to turn into dogs and such.
I also allow players to change about 5kg of clothing - but not tech.
This is iffy but I don't like having to go through the detail of remembering
where the Mage left his underware "Hey Sid - NICE PINK BRIEFS!!!"
SO in conclusion - 1 - make sure you have the right spell - and use it
reasonably and in the spirit of the rules. By the way the Spirit of transform
IS to change people into something nasty.
Try this on. Transform your FAVORITE enemy into a Poodle and quicken it. :)
you gain a pet and loose an enemy.
