(ALTERNATE) FORM

Effect: Alteration

Action: Free

Range: Personal

Duration: Varies

Cost: 5 points per rank

You can exist in a form other than mere flesh and blood, giving you additional traits. It requires a free action to change into or out of your Alternate Form and you can do so once per round. You have 5 character points per Alternate Form rank to apply to powers related to your form. Once you choose your Alternate Form’s traits, they are fixed and do not change. No Alternate Form power can have a rank greater than your Alternate Form rank. Your non-Instant Alternate Form powers must all have the same duration, which determines your Alternate Form’s duration.
