Feline Heritage "Rawr"

1
The power to transform into a non-humanoid creature.
Used by Darren Stanley, Created by jwesley123.
(Your transition from one form to the next is obvious to all observers. )

“Feline Heritage” is a transcendent ability that allows Darren to embrace the full extent of his mystical connection, transforming into a white cat. This power is not merely a change of form but a profound alignment with his feline essence, enabling him to navigate the world through the senses and spirit of a cat.


Exert your Mind and spend an Action.

You transform into White Cat for two hours or until you choose to end the Effect. See the Extended System text for stats.

While transformed, you cannot use any equipment (including Artifacts and Consumables), and you do not have access to any of your Powers. Any equipment you are wearing transforms with you.

Injuries and Wound Level are carried over between forms. However, transforming can never kill you; you merely remain Incapacitated until your Injuries are sufficiently healed.
