Sorry if this has already come up, or if I'm overlooking something.
One of my PC's wants to make a shapeshifter. If using the
Point-based design system (SR Companion) What should the Building
Cost be?

Thanks

I don't think it says anywhere, so maybe one of our FASA or free lancers
can give a definitive answer to this one? (Mike? Steve?)

I'd say 20 building points, because on the shapeshifter character creation
table (page 36), they have to take priority A for race, which is
equivalent to full magician on the normal priority table, and costs 20
building points if you create a character that way.

OH Boy! A question I can answer!

Here's the bad news first:
There is no official BP Cost, that I know of.

The good news:
Taking a short hint from the way Magical abilities are set up according
to Priorities:

(Note: this only applies to Magic and Race Priorities)
A: 20 BP
B: 15 BP
C: 10 BP
D: 5 BP
E: 0 BP

Hope that helps, it's how I do it:)

I'd just make them design it using the Shape Shifter design table, then
convert it into points. Modify from there.
