BASIC SHAPESHIFTING

Lunars now have two ways to shapeshift. The first method is to drink the Heart's Blood of their prey, and the second is to spend one hour studying and watching it. Either way, the Lunar must spend a point of Willpower, and may choose to spend a point of experience. If they only spend the Willpower, they gain the form for a duration of (Their Essence) in hours, after which it fades away; if they are in that form at the time, they transform automatically back into a True Form of their choice. If they spend the experience, the form is permanently added to the list of forms that the Lunar can become. As usual, it is a die action to shapeshift, costing 3 motes.
