Project: Whiskers the Wonder Cat

[Tsura]

Firstly No, that is not the final name. Its just a place-holder till I come up with something better.

 

 

As is, I've not had much contact with M&M 2e for quite some time, and would appriciate some stat-based feedback on my build thus far.

 

As a brif intro, Whiskers is ment to be a witches familiar who transforms back and forth between human and cat forms, in addition to having a small amount of magical power granted to her by the witch who created her. Her combat abilities are based mostly on physical attributes derived from her feline nature (most especially speed and agility), with the magic being more of a supplement to be used outside of combat.

 

So, here is what I have thus far.

So they can switch back between human and cat forms?

Edited May 6, 2014 by Raveled

[Tsura]

Yes, though since the rest of her magic is tied up in the same array as the transformation to cat form, she can't use spells while a cat. 

[Supercape]

You may wish to consider using morph and the metamorph feat - essentially you have two appearances here. 

[Tsura]

I have considered that, since its been suggested a few times now. I'm only hesitant because I'm not exactly sure how best to go about it so that the point values in both forms work out. If you've got suggestions on that front, I'd be happy to hear them. 

 

EDIT:

 

Did some fiddling with Metamorph, and you know what? It actually did come out fantastically! Took a bit more effort to juggle between the two forms, making sure everything added up, but I'm pretty satisfied with the results.
