I snipped the other topics from the Subject list, because they don't seem to
apply here...

Actually, I've noticed that "shapechange" in Shadowrun isn't nearly so
"character friendly" as it is in many other RPG's. Mist Form, to me at least,
is a variation on this same theme/discussion. Personally, I'm not sure of
anything that could completely correct this argument that exists at this point
in time in the game. House Rules, sure, no problem, you can find 'em
everywhere.

But something like this, I don't know.

I agree with Bob I think, the concept of a "Mist Forming" vampire just somehow
appearing wearing armor and a gun-at-ready does bother me now that I think of
how the power is described.

On a related note, anyone see the DS-9 episode with "Laas"?
