Totem [minor] by Iczer

'By the Tiger I will avenge thee!'

The character can alter his genetic code to become more like a beast.
Mechanically the character's body transforms into a beast like creature of the character's choosing. Select an animal mutant (refer to mutant animals section of HU2 or to After the bomb).

The character essentially gains:

Hands, Biped, speech: Full

Looks: None. The character resembles a humanoid version of his chosen animal.

Bonuses: The character gains all that animals attribute bonuses and natural abilities

The character also gains 5 Bio-E per level at the moment of transformation, that he may spend on that animals chosen powers (but not psionics or size level), and gains 30 SDC. The bio-E is cashed in every time the character transforms back into his human form, and may be respent when he changes back.
