[quote=@Perpenheimer][@Genni] Looks okay, just keep in mind that the Erkani can even take the form of other alien races, and be fairly convincing.[/quote]

What level of shapeshifting do Erkani possess?

1 - Camoflague: Retain their shape and size, but can alter their outward appearance to disguise themselves as other members of their own race or physiologically similar ones (e.g. any humanoid race.)

2 - Form shifting: Retain their basis shape (number of limbs, etc.) but can change their size to take on new forms.

3 - Zoological transformation: Can transform into the shape of any known creature, but only gain the attributes the physical form would provide (gills = breathe underwater, wings = flight, etc.)

4 - Full mimickry - Can transform themselves into any known lifeform, and gain all attributes and abilities native to that lifeform (psionics, cultural bonuses, etc.) Can transform into basic machines with moving parts, but not chemical, electrical or radiological components.

5 - Fluid form: Their true form is a liquid mass, and they can reshape themselves into any shape at will. They can mimic any individual close enough to fool close friends and family. Can form complex machines and devices.

How easy is Erkani shapeshifting? Could Dae dodge around a corner and moments later step back in a completely different form, or would she have to 'cocoon' herself for several hours or days to metamorphose into a new form? Could she shapeshift her limbs during combat to form weapons?
