My personal experience, in addition to the sasquatch, extends
to shapeshifters and vampires as well, both running for and playing personally.
We didn't use any sort of flexible priority system, but I definitely paid for
the option when I played.
When I played the shapeshifter, I came in with the clothes on my back,
a Weapon Focus 1 Knife, and a Squatter lifestyle. I thought that it was a fair
price to pay. When playing a vampire, I also paid, but this time I had to come
up with an even better write-up and had to come in with just the clothes on my
back, and was required to roleplay killings (which everybody hated, like taking
the time out of a game for decking that lasts hours). As a result, There
weren't many times that I had an essence over 8, which is shapeshifter normal.
However, my GM was more open-minded than most-- allowing me to use
anything that I could justify by significant write-up. I wrote five pages on
the shapeshifter before I had enough that wasn't cliche. For the vampire. . .
Well, let's just say that I was very, very busy for awhile, and I paid in other
ways as well. . .
Brandywine:
I believe that it was you who responded that you played a tiger
shapeshifter mage. (No offense intenede if I am incorrect!!) The official word
(read: directly from Tom Dowd's mouth) on regeneration is that is restores
fatigue as well as damage _at the end of the turn._ Just so's you know. ..
Also:
I do not remember the person who dreamed up the troll
shapeshifter physad, but I hope that was a joke. Shapeshifters are a "race"
all their own, and no combo with any other is possible.
