Editing MTH:Shapeshifting (section)

==Emulate Power (****)==

Prerequisite: Shapeshifting, Power Level 3+

Effect: When activating the power, for an additional Verve; The character may take one dot in a purely biological Alpha superpower. The Storyteller is the final arbiter of what powers can be emulated with Shapeshift; things like Claws (Power Strike) and Armor are appropriate, while powers such as Mental Blast, Force Field, and Teleport aren't. These powers must be activated as normal, but if an action is required to activate them, they may be activated in the same turn as the Shapeshift action is taken. The character pays for them as normal, with verve, and uses the default listed die pool. They '''do not''' substitute their rating in Shapeshift for their rating in the appropriate power.

If the shapeshifter is mechanical in nature (usually a rational for the distinctive feature drawback), they may copy Alpha powers with a plausible mechanical rational as an extra.
