Custom Combination Discipline / Technique

This combination discipline modifies the animal form of a vampire using Protean: Shape of the Beast to something more akin to a lycanthrope in its hybrid form. To the untrained eye you appear as a terrible werecreature. The vampire's muscles roil and boil as they take on this form, their body stretching and contorting until the Metamorphosis takes hold fully.

System: When activating Protean: Shape of the Beast the vampire may spend a temporary willpower in addition to the normal cost for Shape of the Beast. The Vampire's animal form retains its normal mass, but has an upright stance that allows it to walk on two legs, two arms instead of front legs or wings, and hands in which the fingers end in claws. In this form the Vampire gains all of the normal benefits of Protean: Shape of the Beast along with the drawbacks. This power may be used in conjunction with powers or merits that speed up the transformation time of Protean: Shape of the Beast. While this power may fool some, this power will never deceive the spirits, the shifters, nor their kin.
