I was a bit bored at work today, and I ran across a comment in another thread about Shark Paladin playable character and thought it sounded intriguing. So, the creative juices (mainly caffeinated beverages) started flowing, and this is what I came up with.
So first off: yes, this character breaks a rule or two. Most notably: you start with your role card. The reason for this is that I wanted to simulate the shape change by having 1 character behave as 2 different but similar characters. Secondly, those who count boxes will notice there's 13 power feats on each side of the role card where there should be 12; this is because I've essentially replaced the role card with a standard power feat (also it's unlucky). Otherwise, I think I've kept it within spec.

Your role card is always available; display either side at the beginning of each scenario; if you would gain a Role, gain a Power feat of your choice instead.
Whenever you gain a Power feat, you gain one for both sides of your Role card.
