                You are now able to leave behind your human frame behind completely. By spending a Blood Trait, you may take on the shape of any creature found in nature between half and double your normal size. You must select a category of creature you can shift into (Birds, Reptiles, Dogs, Cats, and Bears. Etc.) for each level of Animal Ken you possess. Note that extinct or mythical creatures may not be copied with this power, and the user must have some knowledge of the creature’s existence to assume its form. Venoms and other poisons cannot be copied with this power.

For every hour past your total permanent mental traits you must pass a Static Challenge, if you fail you lose one permanent Humanity Trait and gain the drawbacks as though you failed a Humanity check outright, there is no retest. You may spend a Temporary Willpower to avoid this test for 1 full night. If you spend all of your temporary willpower in this fashion you automatically fall into permanent Wassail as though you lost all of your Humanity.

Chimera enables you to grow claws that deal one additional level of Lethal damage, enhance the Strength of your legs to leap great distances, sprout wings that allow you to fly (at your normal running speed) etc. Each such change requires the expenditure of a Physical Trait and the effects last for the scene, with the additional expenditure of a temporary Willpower you may sustain these alterations for the entire night. Optionally you may spend a Blood and a Willpower to grant yourself 3 Traits in any one category, or an additional Healthy level for the evening, these traits can be refreshed or healed normally.

                In addition your Kingdom Animalia power can take you to the size of a mouse or the size of an elephant and allow you to refresh your form traits with each shift, these traits must be spent after you have run out of base traits however. Venoms and other poisons cannot be copied with this power.

Lose the True Form

                With this level you are able to leave behind the living kingdom all together and take on the form of any object you can think of. The size and extinct/mythological/venom/poison restrictions from the previous level still apply however.

                Any solid shape may be assumed at will. With the expenditure of a temporary willpower you may shift into a fluid or gaseous state, taking on the form of water, fog or smoke. When in a gaseous state you become immune to physical attacks and may only be affected by magical attacks, but you are unable to move of your own volition and are at the mercy of natural forces. Currents, wind and fans will buffet you around until you resume a solid form.

                At this level your Kingdom Animalia and Chimera forms grant you six bonus traits to distribute to merits or attribute traits per recorded form. Once chosen these traits are locked in and must be recorded on your character sheet.
