Twisted Flesh

Twisted FleshMysticBasic1600 hoursRequires: Age Apparent
With this vile skill, a Vampire can craft its own flesh into a particular unholy shape. This skill—much like a weapon proficiency or language skill—requires a degree of specialization. That is, each shape is another separate skill, requiring the adjusted learning time to perfect. Note that a Vampire's basic structure, composition, and mass do not change by using this skill. That is, one who wishes to turn into a bat would still retain her weight, basic features, et cetera, even though the body is now twisted into some horrible parody of a monstrous bat-thing—flight is still impossible. While the possible forms are as varied as the imagination, no one will be fooled by the Vampire's new form, as it will always be some form of grotesquerie. The time required to assume the new form will vary, but an estimated 20—30 minutes is typical. The time to return to one's normal shape is the same, and the Vampire has the option of retaining the monstrous form while it sleeps during the day, or allowing its "natural" restorative process to return it to normal.
