The ARG demo gives a "Change Shape" Magical Racial Ability that costs 6 RP. This functions as the Alter Self spell, allowing you to take the form of a Small or Medium humanoid. Do you think it's fair to have a Magical Racial Ability that instead grants Beast Shape I for 6 RP? If so, I assume it would be limited to one animal, but what would the duration be? Unlimited? If not, how many times per day could you use it, and how long would it last?
Beast Shape is a higher level spell and generally better than alter self. So no, I do not think that 6 RP is fair for it.
What would you suggest, Cheapy? Also, it'd be limited to a single form for the entire race.
