Rules Question - Shapechange


Rules Questions and Gameplay Discussion


One of the options for shape change allows you to display the card to make your strength, Dexterity and Constitution Skill 1d12+2. My question is how this power interacts with skill feats. If Oloch casts the spell and has spent three skill feats on strength, do those bonuses stack? Is his strength now 1d12+5? Or do they replace the bonuses from skill feats, lowering his strength to 1d12+2? (A a small price to pay for the bonus he gets to other physical stats)


Pretty sure it's meant to replace your current skill. Just got it as Damiel, who has d8+3 Dex, and have been playing it as d12+2. I don't remember the exact text of the card now, but remember that in the current rules, "skill" means "everything including bonuses." Essentially it'd be like putting the Bikendi Otongu role card over your own, the game doesn't care what your original stats are.


Replace was my assumption as well, but I wanted to be sure.


I only briefly glanced at Shapechange. What is the wording on the card?


Don't have the card in front of me, so I will need to wait until late this evening to get it for you. But it's an amazing card which opens up all sorts of craziness (probably why they waited until AP 6 to give it to us). Firearms Oloch suddenly becomes viable!

It replaces everything.


Thanks, Mike!
