So I’m creating an NPC villain for my upcoming game – it’s a Beauty and the Beast concept. She is a demure, innocent looking girl who can transform into a hulking great beast. In human form the girl has no powers at all other than to shapeshift – it is the monster that is to have all the power points invested into it.

So, I start with Animal Control: Large Creature (5) and add Shapeshifter (5) and Unique (half) = Total 5 pts but the Shapeshifter modifier states that I cannot now use any other modifier of the Animal Control power, which includes the ability to spend power points on the creature.

Now I can see that taking the stats of a large feral creature (a large bear for example) as the base for the monster gives some big bonuses, such as to Strength for example, and spending PPs to increaser this further becomes unbalanced in comparison to other characters - but still, I have power points to burn and I want to spend them on taking things like a melee attack with razor-sharp claws for example.

So, how should I go about creating my Beauty and the Beast character?
