Beauty and the Beast [minor] by Iczer

Dedicated to Mierin.

The character possesses the ability to trade brains for beauty (or even brawn) and back again. The character can lower his PB and IQ scores to enhance his PS. this 1:1 trade off allows the character to become a large, hulking brute, able to swap out up to 4 points per action (+1 per level).
The character can return his attributes to normal at the same rate.
Likewise, the character can lower his PS to enhance his PB or IQ, though this trade off is not as good. every 4 points from PS traded off can add either +1 to PB or IQ.
In all instances, all shifts are permanent until reversed. characters are to take special note of their 'normal' attribute scores.

Other abilities: The character becomes inhuman looking when he drops his PB score. small mutant traits develop when he does so. when his PB drops to below 10, he acquires a mutation (altered skin color happens automatically) that remains persistent for the entire transformation (same mutation each time, re-roll if non visual). In addition, he acquires a HF of 10 when he drops to 8PB or less (or gains +1 to HF).
