Something I forgot to mention, you can only perform minor magical feats when you aren't Shifted. For example, Lily wouldn't be able to make very powerful illusions when she's in her human form. If, however, she changes to her Hybrid or Fox form, she becomes much more powerful. Also, while changing to your full form will give you some advantages, you don't actually increase that much in power from Half to full (if you have a Hybrid & Pure form). For Thule Alexander, his Howl of Dread that makes people go "I... don't wanna be here" would be somewhat realistic in his Human form.

Kapu, that is a very important thing to mention to us. Personally speaking, when I made my character, I was thinking magician type. Take your character for example.
[quote=kapuchu]Abilities:
Athletic and flexible, skilled at gymnastics, and a very fast and agile runner. Also views herself as quite the good singer with “the voice of an angel” if her old pupils were to be trusted. She's also quite proficient at hand-to-hand combat (Jiu-Jitsu)[/quote]

And Reap's. 

[quote=Reapthemusic]Abilities: 
-Knowledge with blades, specifically katanas
-Decent hand to hand combat
-Evasive maneuverability
-Fluent in Japanese
-Competent to "key points" of German, Swedish, and Spanish from her fathers various travels. (i.e. where is the bathroom, hello, goodbye and other 'necessities')[/quote]

That creates a huge imbalance when you have characters like mine.

I based him around increasing levels of magic use, I put it into his biography [i]in his human form[/i]. I really don't think this new rule is a good one, in my honest opinion. Where he lacks in physical skills that everyone else has, he was supposed to make up for it through his use of magic. Sure he may be agile because he's a runner, but he's not exceptionally agile, or strong, (at least not in his human form). He doesn't have hand-to-hand combat, or knowledge of blades.
