Sorry , when I posted that. I'm so used to using that rule for
bioware in my games, that I didn't remember the official ruling from
Shadowtech [the cat's been hiding it under his litterbox]. It's worked
so far in my games; no one's tried to abuse it. I guess it all depends
on how sensitive the GM wants to make the magically active person's
arual template to changes in the physical form.
